Star Trek: The Next Generation
Williams, 1993Just wondering if you guys have ever had an issue where one cannon tests during start up and not both. When I turn my machine on only the left cannon tests. This also happens when I back out of the service menu. The strange thing is that the right cannon works fine during play. It does seem to go a little far to the left but it works. The switches also work in test mode. It’s just a strange little thing going on and I’m wondering if it’s the lead up to a major issue.
Thanks.

Good news, this is normal expected behavior. Enjoy the game

That’s odd because only my right cannon tests at startup! Weird.
It has to do with where the cannon coasts to a stop. If it goes past the switch it will activate it on boot so the game can know it's working. You can get zero one or both activating depending on this.
Thanks guys! Never noticed this before but I'm in nervous mode because I just shopped it and sometimes wires come loose. I hate doing wire traces too.
