Hi All,
I have a Whirlwind and just recently it started doing something really
weird in lock mode. So, I start the lock mode, send the ball up the
ramp, then once it diverts into the lock trough it thinks for a second
and then kicks the ball back out onto the playfield. At this point it
stays in lock mode, I send the ball back up the ramp, and the process
repeats (booting the ball back out onto the playfield and remaining in
lock mode).
Any suggestions? I'm a noob an not sure what to do at this point.
Thanks for your help,

the locks (where the balls rest when they are locked) are working? I
think if the lock doesnt register something like that will happen....

One of the switches in the lock is not working. You will want to put
the game in the test mode that checks the switches (switch edge).
Then, using a ball, check the switches to see which one is acting up.
Find the one that's not working and either bend the wire slightly to
see if that helps or -better- replace the switch with a fresh new one.
Good luck!
