I worked on the back playfield flash lamps - one had quit working and needed to resolder a solder joint. After repairing the solder joint, the playfield switch matrix row 1 is dead. Everything else is working fine. I first checked the connection at ij10 and it is okay. I next checked all fuses and they are okay. The white brown wire - row 1 switch matrix - also connects to a resistor under the playfield. Resistor checks out fine as do the wiring connections to the resistor. Finally I traced the wiring for switch matrix row 1 to each switch and saw nothing disconnected or unusual.
I also pulled ij10 and ij8 and jumped a wire from white/brown pin 9 on ij10 and each connector pin at ij8 while in switch test diagnostics to see if the switches in the row activated. All switches tested fine so it must be somewhere on the playfield. Correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Game has been playing fine for several months until this.
