I've been having a short problem on my Congo for a little while. Short also happens when just playing the game. A whole column of switches go out (all the AMY lane switches and CONGO targets in lower playfield). Pressing any of those switches in the test menu reports a row short across the row of that switch. If I replace the U20 chip, everything will be fine for a few days and then same problem without doing anything to the game. I've done a lot of work to the game in the past but this started happening after most of the work.
I get that there is a short somewhere with metal touching metal. I've tried to following the wires from the switches that go out but cannot find any bare wires or anything suspect. I also just looked over all the wiring trying to find any issues. I found a few things that could of been soldered better but fixing those did not help. Nothing looks hacked or burnt. Where should I look for the short? Would it be something with the wires relating to the switches that go out or could it be somewhere else? I'm still a novice at repairs so not really sure how to address a problem like this.
