Anybody with a Flintstones please help. When playing my Flintstones it doesn't always award me the skill shot bonus even though the light is definitely under the ball for the lane it comes down. I'm thinking it could be a software problem. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance Mick.

Flintsones skill shot

More likely the rollover switch Mick.
Does it happen on one lane more than others? (You know you can move the skill shot posn with your flippers?)

Use menu T.1 switch edge test.
Tip.. Don't use your finger to test the switch, roll a ball over it.
Sometimes if they're very slighty under adjusted a fat finger will trigger it when a ball won't.
A *very* gentle pull on the wire rollover will raise it slightly if it's sunk. But you only want mm of movement.
Alternatively adjust the leaf switch underneath. Adjust the stiff metal wafer to tighten the gap, not the leaf contacts themselves, unless they're already bent and need fixing. If the gap between the contacts looks good then they might just need a clean.
Use a piece of dry cardboard just to rub the contact nubs slightly. You'll see black come off. Don't be tempted to use switch cleaner unless it's really bad, and even then just spray the cardboard before wiping again. Never directly onto the switch else you make a shìt magnet

So when I have looked at the roll overs the D of the dig roll over is facing the opposite way to the I and the G is this normal ? Also when I have rolled the ball over each one they are all registering. I can spell DIG within the game without a problem.
Is it easy to replicate the skillshot not working, or is only very occasionally?
You're definatley not moving the award out of the way with flipper presses?

I think you can go into switch test and see the matrix. If you bang your hand on the playfield, if any switches are getting triggered, you will see them change state in the matrix.
If that is the case, see which switch it is and find out what is the issue.
