    Following a tie-back mod installation on my STTNG pinball, I received a ground row 7 white/violet message when booting up.
    I have done a visual inspection of most switches on that row and couldn’t see any spots where they might be grounded. Having a bit of an issue finding switch 37 I believe it is under right gun.
    Any tips on how to troubleshoot to isolate which switch might be the issue?

    Thanks
    John

    Quoted from LTG:

    Unplug ROW 7 connector from CPU. If error goes away the short is out in the game. If the error doesn't go away, your CPU got damaged. Likely U20.
    LTG : )

    I unplugged the connector on the board and the error goes away.
    I was pretty sure the error is out on playfield somewhere but it’s difficult physically tracing the wire from switch to switch visually.

    So I should disconnect the green column wire at each switch one at a time until the error goes away when I boot up to locate which switch is causing the row short?

    Thanks for your replies!
