The battle with the Grand Lizard continues! 🦎⚑ In this episode of Pinball Shenanigans, I attempt to finally solve the mystery of the Grand Lizard's locked-on eye flashers. Armed with a replacement chip and what can only be described as questionable optimism, I replace a chip hoping to fix the problem once and for all. Spoiler alert: it didn't work. πŸ˜‚ But wait! I wasn't done yet. I moved on to replace a different 6802 chip, and believe it or not... THAT actually stopped the flashers from locking on! πŸŽ‰ Forward progress, right?! Well... technically, yes. The flashers are no longer permanently locked on. Unfortunately, I still can't actually get them to FLASH. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ So I've successfully progressed from "always on" to "not on at all." That's progress in the world of vintage pinball repair... probably. πŸ˜‚ Join me as I continue digging into the Grand Lizard, swapping chips, breaking out the troubleshooting skills, and trying to convince this machine that cooperation is a good idea. Will I finally get the flashers working? Will I discover another mysterious problem? Will I accidentally create three new problems while fixing one? You'll have to watch and find out! 🦎 The Grand Lizard refuses to go quietly!
