Before you go ripping stuff apart....try going into diagnostics and do a factory restore. Don't assume because the battery is dead or has been popped out that the system is indeed restored. You need to actually go into diagnostics and hit restore. I've had some real strange stuff magically go away on some Gottliebs with a system restore. I sort of start with this step first on a Gottlieb as I have chased my tail before on strange behavior and this worked. Good luck!

Well, time to roll up the sleeves. Id start looking for cold solder joints at the header pins of the sound board and CPU like forceflow said. Just reflow them to be sure, it only takes a few minutes. After that....do you have another System 3 game around with a working sound board? Try swapping and see if your problem is on the soundboard or stays with the game.
