5K for LOTR is a great price. the playfield wear is the only bad thing I see...but the extras can make up for that

Roger, makes sense. Should be no problem with the point I used, correct? A ground is a ground right? thanks again for all the help...everyone :)

Cool beans, thanks. I jumped the connection in question to the ground point near one of the mounting screws. Will try to get it in tonight to test.

I know my JM has perma credit dot for glove switch. a local operator said he removed all the glove in hand switches due to problems and never had a problem after. If you know Geoff from Pinhead Amusements, he is the man who knows ;)

SO...... Now that my LOTR is working, I decided to try to fix my original board. ( I swapped a new Q6 into a replacement PCB to fix my game ) Whoever did some work on this PCB in the past butchered it, there are jumpers everywhere... I have a question, I need someone to confirm what log on...

Aaaah. I see, thanks.

I was going thru the menus in my lotr and I saw the following. Tower skill shot made... Flipper skill shot made.... Lane skill shot made..... AND.... Is there a Secret lane skill shot in LOTR?

I'm kinda coy probing random wires in my pins with a DMM. Anyone got any idea where some 12v DC is in TFTC or LAH ?

So I had some time today to remove the PCB and replace the Q6 IRL540N FET. I also swapped in a new diode just to be safe as they are $0.02 BOOM! I have a working magnet!!! Thanks so much for the tech support everyone. I have the removed Q6 FET (it was a IRL540N as well) And I am wondering...

The brown-blue is right beside the violet yellow, on the same side of the connector. The yellow wires on the right of the pic go to the magnet.

Just to clear this up for future searches by anyone having this problem... The "purple" wire in the PIC is in fact violet with yellow stripe.

Thanks all. I will replace Q6 with a IRL540N as soon as I find some time. question... could the member with 2 diodes on his magnet wires have 2 diodes as a form of X2 redundancy ?? so if 1 diode blew, the 2nd would take its place?? or do diodes blow "open" so X2 redundancy would not work...

To be clear... I am NOT blowing the fuze upon power up. The magnet is locking on on power up and if I do not turn it off within 5 sec or so, I will blow the fuze. I will dig in the manual for the diode orientation as suggested. MosFET, FET ?? are these alternate terms for transistors...

FET = Transistor (IRL540N) correct? I NEVER had magnet lock on upon start up until I replaced the Diode. I was at the hokey game tonight taking pictures (Sens lost ) and I noticed I had taken a picture of the old diode before I replaced it so I would in fact not put the new one on backwards...

I have a question about the Magnet in my LOTR. My magnet was blowing fuzes. I swapped in a new PCB with all good transistors and all was well until the magnet fired...then it blew the fuse again. Swapped in a new fuse and it blew right away upon boot up. I am using a 5A fuse as per the Stern...

Thanks dude.... I will search around with a DMM in the DE games.
