Why is my Indiana Jones resetting during game play for no apparent reason?
This is a common problem with the Williams/Bally machines running the WPC boardset. (specifically, the WPC power-driver board). There are a few reasons that I’ve seen that commonly cause the machine to reset itself (as if somebody simply unplugged and re-plugged in the machine) during game play and especially when a lot of power is used like when both flippers are pressed at the same time or during multiball.. Reason 1: Low AC voltage. When the machine is on the same AC line as other power-hungry machines then this problem may occur. If your machine is plugged into the same circuit as a refrigerator, neon signs, air-compressor, other pinball machines, etc then the AC voltage that your Indiana Jones is getting may be running a little low or weak. Try plugging the machine into a different circuit in the building which is on a different circuit breaker or fuse. Low voltage may also cause resets if your IJ is plugged into a long extension cord. I’ve seen this problem when a machine was plu
