Long story short, I was working on my BSD and one of my target light wires was unsoldered and needed to be resoldered. I did this, but while I was in the machine, the wire that was disconnected touched a purple solenoid terminal wire and I got a bunch of solenoids to go off on their own. I turned the game off, resoldered the wire, turned the game back on and the solenoids keep popping on their own, even during game play. The playfield magnet will also continually reset. I also have a bunch of optos out. They don't respond to anything, but a couple are working just fine.
Not sure what the heck is going on.
I have checked the following,
I have just over 12 volts at the opto transmitter
I have swapped CPUs from another machine, no change
I have swapped the driver board with another machine, no change
Still asks for checking switches 51, 53, 54, 55, 57.
Factory settings have been restored.
Please help.

Yeah, CPU swapped and reswapped into another game. That game works fine with BSD CPU and driver board. Gotta be something else.
I wonder if I fried the opto board itself. Are the solenoids going off because they are looking and can't see?
I don't think all those optos would we ruined, but you never know.
No fuses blown either.
I am at a loss.

Is it the opto 10 board?
