I have a strange switch matrix issue with the MPU that came out if my WH20. I have a loaner in there for the time being, but I'd really like to get this one working so I can give the other one back.

Basically, all playfield switches don't work. Test report comes up with "GND row short" for a bunch of different row #s.
Following the guides I've replaced U20 (ULN2803) and U14 (74LS374). Where do I go from here?

You should be connecting a logic probe and tracking down the errant signals. Do a little more investigating.

Ditto on LM339s, they sense the rows.

U18 and U19

Which is wrong? U15 74LS240 or anything else?
I've changed the LM339 at direct switch now is working automatically it steps ahead in the menu... Same symptom with removed U16.
