The service buttons are not part of the game's switch matrix. I would back track and see what it was you were working on last and this happens a lot when people swap in LEDs with the game on and short something by accident using their screw driver or dropping a screw. Battery corrosion could cause this and the ULN2803 and LM339 chips are directly below the batteries on the MPU as shown here.

If you don't notice any corrosion then check the common switches in the first column or third row I highlighted here.

Hopefully the other switches that don't work all fall in either the same column or row and not scattered all over the matrix. If that is the case I would check the common wire under the playfield to see if maybe there is a break somewhere along the chain. If you have switches out in the same column check the green/brown wire or in the same row check the white/orange wire.

The next thing you could also try is re-seating connectors J206 and J208 on the MPU as well. I had switch issues on my TAF before and turned out I just needed to redo my J208 connector as seen in the picture here.

Also if it ended up being ULN2803 or LM339 related I would get these socketed so in the future you can just pop in a new chip and you don't have to stress these traces again in the future.
