Please post a picture of the board at an angle showing underneath the U25 IC socket. There should not be any solder shorts between the pins 6-7 nor 9-10.

Yes. I would remove it, retest pins 6-7 and 9-10 before reinstalling it.

I know these IC sockets have thin legs so it makes it easy for too much solder to flow up the legs if you leave the heat on too long or add too much solder. The wide IC socket frame is likely hiding the solder bridge between pins 6 and 7.

Quoted from Tomass:

Looks like some gunk here between 9 and 10

Already pointed out and solved.

Quoted from sixleggeddog:

Although - now when I press the start button instead of starting a game up it just displays the rules for Pinbot.

Did you go in the settings and set for free play or add credits to the game?

Default game setting is set for the player to add credits after changing batteries or adding NVRAM.
