Is the machine is Self Test or Run mode? The SERVICE switch on the SC&C

Hi John,
Thanks for the great resource that is flippers.com and taking the time
to respond.
-Verified SC&C is in Run mode. I can enter service mode and run some of
the tests successfully although tests that apply to the CD (keys 7,6,and
9) produce no results.
Also while in service mode the gripper keeps grabbing random CDs from
the carousel, placing on the player then returning them after 4 or 5
seconds.

Are the Z and K LEDs blinking when the carousel rotates? Read about that

on my page...#2-1.

-Z flashes steadily as the carousel rotates while K flashes every once
and a while.

Have you followed the troubleshooting guide posted there?

-I'm still working through all of the troubleshooting that even remotely
resembles the issues I'm having. I'm heading back over to the in-laws
again Wed night to dive back in.

If it is a CD player failure the CD would be placed on the player and
the machine would wait ten to twenty seconds - then return the CD to the

basket if it couldn't access the player. If it puts it back immediatly
then something else is wrong.

- I timed the delay between placing the cd on the player and returning
it to the carousel and it came in between 4 and 5 seconds so a far cry
from 20 seconds.

Thank you again for your help especially knowing that you are swamped
right now.

One thing to try is unplug the battery jumper and leave the machine off
overnight. This will flush the memory and will sometimes cure weird
problems. Plug the battery jumper back in after you have turned the
machine back on...
