Use your fingers to tap around each opto while in switch test. Also tap the opto board around the connectors. If you haven't already, reseat the connectors on the opto board.

It's likely just a bad opto or flakey connector. Those transceivers can get real sensitive when they go bad.

Quoted from Sonny_Jim:

by accident I put the cable labelled for J1 on the opto board into j2 and j2 into J1 and it's magically working, no idea why. If I had to guess they were mislabeled from the factory

SAM games use transceiver optos, meaning both optos for a switch are identical. No idea why that fixed your game, but it wasn't miswired or mislabeled from the factory.
