Atari Star Wars Arcade vectors gone wonky

Question

Problem already solved: It was the SRAM after all.

 

I finally got my SWA out of storage after the divorce and managed to play for about an hour with the odd hiccup where the spot killer was activating.

Today I let my kids play and it has gone wonky big time.

It looks similar to the time I had a RAM issue, but I've run the self tests and everything comes out fine.

I've checked all the voltages, taken the boards out and re-seated the chips, and cleaned the edge connectors to no avail.

The error isn't random as in the self test it's wrong, but consistently wrong.

Initially it was intermittent, so I'm hoping it's a loose connection somewhere.

It also has a Vector Labs multi-game in it, if that is relevant.

 

Help me Obi-wan Kenobi you're my only hope.
