I had to replace the backup battery holder on a Twilight Zone CPU board. That worked fine, but now the upper left flipper stays up in the activated position... it goes up as soon as I turn on the power. It seems like I must have shorted something out on the CPU board when I was soldering the battery holder, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?
