Quoted from bobukcat:

Do you see any voltage at all on the pins of J9 that the cabinet switches go to?

Quoted from mg81:

when I pull the CPU J9 connector off, and test the voltage on the J9-9 pin is 4.72 volts, HOWEVER, when I jumper the J9-9 pin to the J9-10 pin the voltage drops to 0.00 on both pins.

Pinwiki references a memory protect switch but it's not clear to me if this is a physical switch or a software implementation of some sort.

"Adjustments, audits and diagnostics are done using the flipper and start buttons and the menu is entered upon opening the coin door (memory protect switch activated)."

U3 pin B1 looks like it's feeding the LM339 for that switch. Page 63 in the manual says U3 is a 74LS245.
Data sheets helpful? https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/12640/ONSEMI/74LS245.html

Getting any activity on B1 (pin 18) of U3? GRUMPY or Quench or barakandl could probably give you ideas on where to go from here.

Quoted from bobukcat:

If the output of the LM339 is not changing this is the reason the game never sees the switch close.

Would you suggest the OP put a logic probe on pin 13 of U11 and see if there is any activity when J9 pins 9-10 are jumpered?

Quoted from mg81:

when I pull the CPU J9 connector off, and test the voltage on the J9-9 pin is 4.72 volts, HOWEVER, when I jumper the J9-9 pin to the J9-10 pin the voltage drops to 0.00 on both pins.

Is this normal behavior? If not, any idea what to test to track down the source of that issue?
