    Older Ni-Wumph board, connectors were re-pinned, power supply was rebuilt, ground mods done etc. It is currently stuck in test mode. It would randomly go into test mode in the past, so I unsoldered one of the connectors to the test mode switch and it seemed to fix it. Then I installed a new white switch on the back of the door (used) and it seemed OK. Then I went on vacation. I tried it again the other day and it went into test mode randomly again! Today I had the same issue and I again unsoldered one of the wires (blue, not common) to the switch. It did it again with the wire unsoldered! I turned the game off and it came up in test mode. I unplugged the game and seemed to go out of test mode, but then went right back in. If I reattach the blue wire back on the terminal now (via alligator clip), it it unresponsive. If I touch the two wires on the white micro switch together, it is also unresponsive. I cannot advance further in the "data" menu with the coin switch either.

    Any ideas?

    Update:
    When I remove the A1 - J6 conector and power off, it comes back up not in test mode. When I then reconnect the A1-J6, it goes straight to test mode/data again.

    The A1-J6 connector says "switch matrix" in the manual.

    I think I have it fixed. Crappy fishpaper in the coin door.
