    Quoted from Strummy:

    Ok...So here's where I stand. I friend suggested that I may have shorted a chip for switch matrix on mpu. I checked for all dead switches. I found these are dead:
    Right ramp switch
    Right orbit switch
    No mini playfield switches work at all
    Cannon opto and mechanical both don't work
    Cannon fire switch not working

    Your drive 4 is out (J1, pin5), and return 11 (J12, pin 7). Pretty sure you have pulled a wire somewhere along the line. Check the green drive wire that runs between all these switches..

    And the tan return wires from these ones..

    Quoted from Strummy:

    I cannot find any wires disconnected. I did test all the LEDs RGB. That all works fine. So it appears that that row is the issue Time Bandit. But if it is not a pulled wire is it a chip or something?

    See if you have 3V at J1, Pin5. Red probe on the pin, black on ground anywhere.

    This is what I got

    Well I'm pretty sure you're getting a strobing signal from there. The switch drive pulses between 0-4ish volts, so on average you get a percentage of that. On a scope it looks like this..

    In this range though, the difference between 2.65V and 3.1V(which is what I get on a working machine) is significant, so there could be a chip problem, but you would need a scope to be sure. The difference may be in our meters.

    Quoted from Strummy:

    Interesting. A few people have said that it may be a chip problem. But what does that exactly mean?

    I'm not sure on all the ways a chip problem will manifest. I always thought if it was dead it was dead and you'd get nothing. That's how most things fail. I would think you wouldn't get a strobe signal at all.

    You should probably check all your switch diodes as well. Occam's razor and all that..
