Think I've isolated this- but figured I'd post the symptoms for comment and/or confirmation.
My right ramp "score switch" in BSD has been having intermittent issues registering.

I put the switch edge test on- and reflowed the solder contacts- the switch came back online.

A couple days later, the switch wouldn't register. Again.

I repeated the same process one last time- back up. I even tried manually triggering it like 50 times, without error.
A day later- now down, again.

I'm guessing the most likely culprit- this switch is going bad (or is fully bad now)?
I just ordered a replacement from Pinball life.

Btw- I looked under the playfield- there didn't seem to be any connector issues I could visually identify?

Quoted from mmuglia:

I think you're on the right track...replacing the switch should take care of it.

Ok, so it turns out that worked. For a few days. Now, I notice the right rollover switch and the ramp switch stop registering if the game is powered down for any fair length of time. When I manually trigger the right ramp switch with forceful press a couple times, both switches come back up. Switch Matrix Issue? Thoughts about what could be wrong? I already reseated connecters- no luck.

I did also notice- fuse 3 is flickering on the power board.
