First, K's arcade is great with usually fast shipping, I've bought several ribbon cables from them along with various original boards that a lot of other pin sites always seem to be out of stock on.
Second, the lines are usually caused by incorrectly seating one of the 4 contact cables from the MPU to the DMD controler, if you are off by a pin, or as sometimes happens a whole row, this occurs, I'm just saying that the cables may not be bad, you might have miss aligned one of the connectors on a board.
Third, your switch error, when you go into test hit enter once to see the error report, I think you have a hand opto failure (mine was the "THING up" opto had failed). If both up and down do not register the game will not let the subway lock up switches report as closed if the ball is locked by THING.
If you have a failed opto on the thing opto board, K's has/d them in stock awhile ago, or you can desolder them and replace them with a flipper opto board pair, if you have a a spare one laying around.
