V3 plunger stops working once cabinet is assembled
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2020 8:15 am
I have a V3 plunger kit which worked flawlessly straight out of the box when first installed into my cabinet. At the time I still had the screens and other electronics sitting on a table rather than inside the cabinet. The plunger worked perfectly, the nudge/tilt worked great and could be easily adjusted with the dials, and all connected buttons functioned exactly as expected.
However, once I went through the process of putting all the other equipment into the cabinet, I find that the plunger no longer works at all, and the nudge/tilt functions do not work exactly as they should. The launch button still works properly, and it's what I'm in using in the interim to launch the ball until I can figure the plunger thing out.
I'm looking for guidance on how to troubleshoot the plunger part of the problem. I know the board was fine when I first installed it, since the plunger worked spectacularly and seemed to have great sensitivity and was perfectly in sync with my VPX tables. I am concerned that I may have somehow damaged the board during installation of the remainder of the equipment into the cabinet (it's a VERY small 27" playfield cabinet), but I am hoping that somehow there is a setting or configuration change that can be done to get it working again.
Thanks!
