Electrical issues

Hi all

i have a problem with the electrical test in stage 100 when testing the 15cm guns by pressing button 2 nothing happens but Bruno starts to turn everything else works ok I’ve got a feeling it’s a faulty control board but any suggestions would be appreciated

That's a tough one.  The testing unit is just a logic unit which sends a basic on/off logic to the main front computer module.  So we have to go back to basics here just to check things off. 

Check batteries are at a minimum 1.5 volts. Recheck every connection to the computer module.  They should be evenly inserted.  If you have to remove any leads, don't pull on the wires as this will weaken them to a point of failure. Use tweezers to lever off the connector.  Make sure every connector is correctly installed - right way round, and that there are no damaged pins within the connector, or pushed female connectors within the computer module. 

Wire up as per the magazine for the test run.  Make sure you use the correct extension leads that were supplied.  Re-run the test.  If still failing, then disconnect all outputs and only check one at a time.  ie. test the main turret, if that works by itself, then plug in the next lead and test that output etc...

See how you go. 🙂
