Quoted from goingincirclez:Suddenly this past Saturday April 30 in the midst of a game, a ton of switches registered at once, including tilts which of course crashed the game. Troubleshooting revealed switches in column 4 were shorting to Column 1 primarily, as well as a few others. Further troubleshooting revealed this was not a two-way relationship. More troubleshooting revealed the problem did not appear to be in the playfield visually (no stuck / shorted switches, etc). All diodes seemed to test OK. Testing the switch and column wiring by metering each harness pin on 2J2 and 2J3 to ground, as well as to each other, revealed no continuity - so that should safely prove there are no hard shorts or wiring faults, etc.
By any chance, did this result in your displays going dark and the game not booting? This might resolve something I was never able to resolve with mine. Fingers crossed.
