LOTR RESET

[Dave Bishop]

Hi guys, got trouble with LOTR. The game keeps resetting. It arrived yesterday night so left it to warm up in my cabin. Today I turned it on and going through switch tests it reset when pressed a path of the dead switch. Then it reset when I shot a ball into the ring magnet, it did it twice so I decided to test all coils, the magnet worked. So started another
Game and now it resets, then DMD flicks off the resets !?? I've attached a video

Check and reseat all cables first...

Then check and reseat game ROM's...

Good Luck!

Thanks will try it again,

I already checked all connectors and made sure they were all pushed in, always do this when a new pin arrives.

The game now just makes a clicking noise and keeps resisting. I have an IPhone video, but it won't upload on pininfo

Upload the video to youtube and then post a link here.

Hmmm, when it resets do the controlled lamps flash and not a lot else?

Update to LOTR.

After looking on Pinside a couple of reports of the game resetting when switch matrix and/or light circuit touch. Common place was at the Balrog. Took him apart, found some numpty had put in a #44 bulb which was blown (2006 model). Replaced with correct 12v LED and adjusted switch. No problems now.

Cheers all
