Along with checking your smoke alarms your should also check the batteries in your pinball game! Yes they do have batteries to retain high scores and game configuration. If these batteries are neglected and leak then you'll be looking at replacing the game board, expensive!!
Please contact us for advice if your unsure if this affects you and unsure how to change them
