IJ mini playfield F*cked HELP

[mickthepin]

The mini playfield works fine in the test but during play does not. I have cleaned the optos and am going crazy trying to fix this. it use to have trouble tilting to the right but now it is much worse. It will struggle to move at all or it will only move to the left. On the advice of some yank on another site I moved the diodes on the rollovers to make sure they are not touching anything and now when it struggles to go to the right on path of adventure it restarts the machine.  at my wits end here.
This is the link to the conversation that has lead me to a worse situation. http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ij-mini-playfield-optos-help

Hi Mate,

Andrew(Beaky) has fixed a few of these Indy Jones mini playfields. In actual fact, he studied that one (yours now) when he was diagnosing a similar problem another one had.
If it was working fine to start with, it shld only be an adjustment. I will send u his email details etc. Maybe I could get him to call you.

In the meantime, if anyone else has an answer they will jump in.
Reverse what the bloke told u to do from the other site. Because it was working fine the way it was originally, put it back that way first IMO.

Na sorry Brett It has been busted since I got it back from a swap this weekend. Moving the diodes just made it a bit worse. If ya could send that stuff that would be a great help tho. Thanks Mate

Details all sent via PM. Since u bought the machine from me, I have reccommended the best QLD tech.
I have already phoned Andy for you. He is keyed up on the issue and awaiting your contact. 
Bloody quick service on here at AP. We shld be in the Formulae One tyre changing pit crew.lol

Have you also cleaned the flipper opto's

[mickthepin]

I am sure it has nowt to do with the flippers I would say I just have to get that diode back in the right position. The real problem is the right to left motion of the Mini pf after I sort the diode

[mickthepin]

you can see the original prob here

utoplay=1&rel=0
Thats it working fine in test

These two are it f**king up in game play

utoplay=1&rel=0

utoplay=1&rel=0

The shutting down is just a result of moving that diode....I hope..na sure it is

[beaky]

hi mick
I would be swapping the flipper opto boards around and see if the problem swaps over also,

[mickthepin]

The whole shutting down problem only happened after I stated moving diodes. this is the first time I have ever had a shut down prob and the confusing thing is now the mini pf doesn't even have to move for the right flipper to shut it down. so it cant be the diode hitting on any metal. here is the vid

Best way to find out is to unplug the mini playfield from the loom and then hit the right flipper button to see it you still get the shutdown.

As for the slow movement to the right of the mini pf, as said earlier it looks like an opto problem on the flippers. Reseat the RHS connector on the flipper opto first and if no change, swap the boards as said above to see if the problem transfers to the LHS.

thanks guys will try some of this out when I get some time and report back 

[mickthepin]

Its the little flipper board on the right. The boards for the flippers on my fishtales look slightly different but would one work in an IJ just to confirm that its the flipper board?? 

[mickthepin]

The flipper opto board

[rads]

I think they mean the boards that the flipper buttons work directly on at the side of the cabinet.  Swap the one at the left flipper with the right flipper.
