Hi guys, hoping someone can help me with my LW3 pin. I'm pretty new to pins so have probably not checked all the obvious things but I've tried to cover the basics.

The fault is it sometimes plays the "we're back in action" sample over and over at different intervals. As soon as it does the music cuts out and doesn't come back. You can hear it try but the sample plays again and again. All other sound effects continue as normal though. Sometimes the game plays fine, and works perfectly.

I thought it was probably a stuck switch, so went through diagnostics and found one on the ramp which was a broken solder joint and is now fixed. No other problems are reported. I'm not even sure what triggers that sample in the game as it does it so much.

Any advice will be appreciated :)
 
Also look for capacitors on the sound board that have spilled their guts.
 
All sorted now, the ribbon connector to the sound board was a little loose. Had it on for 2 hours now without a hitch.
Thanks guys :)
