The cable with connectors? Senc 1-9 cables are all the same then I presume.
Thanks, suppose would narrow down to whether board fault or cable fault.

Yes, I used Phil once for a TNA issue early last year but it was easier and simpler to just go direct and so for all games now i’ve done just that
Have you done a switch test ?
They wouldn’t ship the board initially because they don’t believe they fail so I had to ask for a 2nd shipment when the first one proved fruitless

I would initiate a switch test sequence first - isolate the culprit - swap the sensor for another and see if either it stays or goes then you will know wha the problem is
Make sure you don’t swap over when it’s on and keep it in test mode and use a ball to sweep over the sensor to trigger it
No point me sending you a sensor if it’s the board
OK but if it's varied lanes being activated (lighting all the inserts on different lanes at different times like your videos show) I can't see how it can be a single sensor.... or is that not logical?

I've raised a ticket with CGC, thanks for help anyway.
Are CGC pretty amiable when things go wrong and parts need shipping?
I've had very quick replies and now been directed to an engineer for a replacement board... just waiting for confirmation.
Will update but they've been fast to respond so far.

I'm hoping that the container headed here will have a box of spare opto's, it's still an issue with owners on pinside.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Was that Jim, you spoke with? nice Chap, I guess he muttered FFS when he saw you email just after I had told him the same thing so he didn't hold back on thinking the board isn't faulty. I reckon they have a bad batch of some component ? will see when more people inform here if they have a problem.
They sent me out several of each inductive sensors too this time round - be warned they won't have the cable on unless you request it
No it was Lloyd. With mine doing exactly the same thing as yours, was wondering about the bad batch thing.... have noted mine seems to start playing up when it warms up, after a game or two. First game from cold boot is fine. Don't think any of my cables/sensors are playing up but may mention them, ta.

The dots looks great and hopefully this is the build up to being released soon. Then how long until we can get the kit…

Interesting, where is that picture from, it is being shown somewhere?
Inital reaction is that I prefer my Rosie's saloon but that won't stop me if the game needs a new switch in there.

Did you spot the sheriff badge spinner? I missed it at first as I was looking at the saloon doors
No, makes no difference. Various lane features triggering (completing the feature/award) at different times. Jiggling wires indicates no issues and all work in test.... hence must be the board I'm sure.
Neil has a video up on YouTube
I did
NO, that is interesting, I wonder if that has a sensor hidden to the left in the new Saloon too?
I worked on mine for a while and really don't think it made any material difference. Yes, some balls may just have made it and now they won't but very few in a game get to the stage that they go in and return and I didn't feel it was fair.
To update, new inductive sensor board arrived, fitted today and no change.... in fact slightly worse as now awarding ball locks randomly too. Different lane features awarded each time, surely not ALL the sensor cables are defective?
Anyone else having this bad luck? Have gone back to CGC and now Phil too.
Tried it and no difference. Strange we both seemed to have exactly the same problem but yours was solved with the new sensor PCB and mine hasn't.
Did you also get a new power/comms cable that goes from the new sensor board to the main CPU board?
Waiting on a reply from CGC again.
