I couldn't resist and inspected the back of the switch and sussed out and discovered that the road trip must have caused the switch assembly to come loose from the launch button assembly. Pushed it in and good to go.


A few other issues:

1. The shark gobble hole randomly keeps the ball for a while and goes into a ball search and other times ejects straight away - I am sure it will be a switch.
2. The dmd randomly drops out, found a hacked power lead that has 2 extra wires soldered in and not a positive looking plug so reckon this needs renewing.
3. Concerning one tonight which I hope is a coincidence but was having a quick game and then the lights dimmed in the shed and the machine reset twice. Checked with my wife and the whole house dimmed so not sure if it is machine thing or a local street power thing. I turned the machine off and headed upstairs and odd thing is my left hand had a little numb tingle for about 5 minutes to it so again don't know if it was the machine or maybe the way I was leaning on the machine. When the machine reset twice I heard a odd surge noise 2 times ?????

Can any one assist with item 3 or all of them but mainly number 3 as I don't want to be zapped nor any of my family or friends. 


Also where the hell is the volume control on these as the controls is only 2 buttons and did a search and missed it - probably something silly looking straight at me.....

cheers for any help
