In an attempt to address bug #312, oliver and i replaced switch 28. Upon attempting to test the new switch found all of column 2 in the matrix (which had previously working) stuck open.

  1. double checked polarity of the diode on the replaced switch - OK
  2. visually inspected the connection of the green-red wire that chains together column 2 in the matrix- connection of green-red to all the switches looked ok

I think the next step is to start looking at pins in the back-box maybe……

Column 2 in the matrix runs to j206

Latest: Switch 17 had just become misaligned, it was snagged on the edge of the ball …

Even with new display, there is no output when the machine boots. It just shows “No Signal”.

(B) Worth noting: the boot only happens if you open the door and press the leftmost button
