Quoted from Golgotha:What connector is the "ROW" connector? I want to make sure I unplug the correct connector(s)
Right side: (J205 & J209 are just paralleled so your plug could be on either)

Quoted from Golgotha:The battery was upgraded to a lithium disc. I replaced it as well.
Sure, but the damage can be very subtle AND happens BEFORE the battery is replaced. Often, corrosion will lurk and show it's ugly face even months after the batteries are replaced.
I would look VERY VERY closely around the 4 x LM339s as even a tiny bit of battery corrosion will cause EXACTLY the problems you are reporting. This is why more people than just me are suggesting it.
I still think you have a corrosion issue - maybe not causing this problem but you need to look VERY critically around here:

Looking more closely you DO have corrosion issues - in a few places.

These tracks are SUPER fine and break at the slightest sniff of battery corrosion.
The built in test menu is the BEST resource you have EVERY TIME for locating and identifying ANY problem you have in WMS machines particularly.
Your best course of action is to familiarise yourself with ALL the tests and go to them FIRST if you EVER have a problem!
The second step (AFTER you have identified the issue using the menu/tests) is to read the WIKI https://www.pinwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Then, and ONLY then, should you start asking others to help BUT by then you will have resolved 80% of any problems that might arise.

You are going to continue chasing your tail while you deny the existence of corrosion around the most sensitive area of the MPU AND this is the area that is DIRECTLY responsible for your "ground short" error most likely.
It is a known and common problem with these boards.

Quoted from Golgotha:THANK YOU Seamlesswall
I knew it was NEVER a corrosion issue. Maybe my pictures looked different than reality. I disconnected the Opto board connector and game booted with no issue except opto's were dead. I just installed the replacement board from Marco and played a few games. Game play is perfect. No issues.
So what I hope some of you take notice is that making suggestions is great, but when people say your suggestion is Not applicable, please don't turn hostile. Nobody wins with bad attitudes. I appreciate everyone that threw ideas. Seamless gets the prize!
I wouldn't get too cocky just yet. You have corrosion issues that will bite one day no matter if you like to see that or not.
The advice offered here from many is usually with lots of years experience in this specific area. To dismiss this advice with your cocky response won't help you in the future.
Good luck with your machine.
Quoted from Golgotha:This is a support site not a bashing site. If you are going to "help" in the guise of being arrogant, I'd rather you pass by. There are plenty of genuine helpful people on this site. I hope you consider your general demeanor. It is quite unbecoming. I never said I have all the answers. I also understand that I might suggest something that has no bearing on the issue. Anyway. Thanks for the help.
Have a read of your own posts before throwing stones!
