Doesn't the lower switch just run the self test?

Never worked on a lucky seven specifically but every early Williams I've used, the lower button is the self test, and buttons in the coin door are used to access audits. Earlier games use the upper button and dip switches for adjustments, later games use the coin door buttons
Ah, it does say that, interesting. But since the leds aren't flashing and turning off, it's failing the self test, so it makes sense you won't get into setup mode. Lower LED locking on means that it's having a problem accessing one of the 6810 RAM chips. Even if they test good, it could be that one of the sockets is bad, or part of the address decoder isn't working, or something like that.
Does the game work at all right now? Does it get to attract mode or anything before you press the lower button?
Quoted from psd4me:Also does anybody have an image for any of the test roms out there. I bought the one from Marco pinball but it doesn't seem to be working I can't get it to run in my fully operational Alien Poker either.

Quoted from psd4me:I've tried a -3 and -4 trace cut and jumper added on -3. I assume if this was done wrong the board wouldn't boot.
It doesn't do any checksum test until you hit the lower button so technically it could manage to boot without all the roms working properly, just depends on how they laid out the code.
Quoted from psd4me:Makes sense. I was leaning towards a problem with the roms but I'm completely new to rom burning so not sure what's correct and what isn't. Where should I go from here?
Personally I don't think your 2732s are helping the situation. Technically they should be fine usually but it's just one more thing to suspect. I'd pick up some 2716s or 28c16s to rule that out
Quoted from psd4me:I got my 2716's burned them and have the same issue. I have determined it's the eprom's though. I put my Alien poker roms in the updated -3 board and they boot and test fine. So I'm doing something wrong or my images are corrupted. I'm burning them as a .bin file is that correct?
That should be correct, yes.
