Switch column 3 dies, or rows flash on and off in switch edges test.
Indiana Jones: left slingshot switch touching a GI socket
Cause: A GI lamp socket sits right next to the left slingshot switch rivets; if they touch, 6.3 V AC reaches the green/brown column 3 wire and can kill U20 (ULN2803) or just upset the matrix.
Checks
- Inspect the left slingshot switch and the GI socket beside it for contact.
Fix
- Separate and insulate them, then replace U20 if it failed.
