The game keeps kicking out balls, or the switch matrix acts confused, with one switch closure showing as several.

Indiana Jones: balls keep ejecting from a crushed mini-playfield switch

Cause: Balls strike the front right switch on the underside of the mini-playfield and crush its wires, diode and lugs together. That switch shares a matrix row with the trough jam opto, so the game thinks a ball is jammed and ejects another.

Checks

  • Inspect the front right switch under the mini-playfield for squashed lugs, wires or diode touching.

Fix

  • Separate and repair the crushed wiring and diode, and replace the switch if needed.
