Title: LW3 ball saver ?
Post by: turbo27 on April 16, 2014, 12:21:03 PM

Extract from user manual

Ball saver
  
   The ball saver (bullet proof vest) is active at the start of each ball
   until you hit four targets. If the ball drains before that, you get a
   new one. If the ball hits nothing before it drains, you get a new one
   as if nothing happend. There's a ball saver at the start of Multiball,
   which lasts three seconds.

Every time I start a new ball, the 'bullet proof vest' light illuminates for maybe 1-2 seconds. It does not matter if I hit 0 or 4 shots, the ball does not get saved.

I've tried a reset back to defaults, no change, and gone through every possible setting I can see both on the machine and in the manual.

Anyone have any ideas, or know of a setting to try.

Other than this the game appears to play perfectly  !@#

Thanks in advance

Is it in the extended adjustment section maybe?  Data east menus suck at first but once you get the hang of them your laughing

Thanks guys,

No not in the extended menu or manual that I can find. Give me a Williams menu any day,

At least my LW3 isn't the only one doing it, thanks Boots
