Wednesday night, after a fill ball gutter, next bowler throws his shot into the rake. I go retreive ball and give back to bowler. (He was very apologetic) After he throws his shot, no score, ok do score change. Terminal not responding. Go in back to check CPU and MIU. No Camera or BT lights on MIU. Move bowlers to another pair. Begin troubleshooting, No power to camera, thusly no power to BT. Swap out camera with known good one. Still no power, getting late now decide to close up and leave it til morning. Come in early on Thursday to start checking wiring. Lo and behold camera now has power. But CPU shows no Communication to front desk. Reset CPU, all looks good. Go to test by throwing some shots.
Throw first shot strike, scorer gives me a 2 count, go to other lane ,throw gutter scorer gives me an 8 count. OK camera adjustment time. Do adjustment smae result, continue doing adjustment , continue to get same result, Now must get ready for leagues, Will have to manually keep score for leagues that afternoon and night.
Come in Today, try something different. Throw towel over camera and throw a gutter, scores a strike, so I know camera can see strike.
Reset machine to 2nd ball, manually change score to gutter and throw 2nd ball, scores perfectly. Strange how It will not score any first shot right but will get second shot correct.
HUH!!!!
Go in back shut down system, reboot again, and now working perfectly.
Sometimes I really believe Boss is haunted.
