My Fish Tales game had a few lights out, so I replaced them. When I turned the game back on, about 5 of the lights I replaced were still out. I figured the problem is more complicated than just changing out the lights I want to try to fix this on my own, but I do have a pinball mechanic I can call if I have to.
I went through all of the tests. I also went through every page of the operations manual. Most of it was like reading a foreign language. Luckily I am pretty math-minded, so I think I was able to identify where the problem lies. However, fixing the problem is something I have no idea how to do.
Below are pictures I took of the problems I documented while going through the tests/manual. If someone can help me make sense of this situation I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Seems like the problem is isolated to 1 or 2 rows.

This is the board that matches the matrix I think Why are there no wires connected to J137 and J133? Should there be? Would that fix my problem?
Now here is what I documented during the switch test. I don't know which switches should be open or closed. The switches that are closed are: 16, 17, 18, 24 (always closed?), 38, and 48.

Switch Matrix: The problem looks like it is isolated to 1 column and 1 row.

CPU board J206 and J209: I'm thinking that I may be missing a piece that should be connected to J206?
