Not sure if this pin requires the batt to boot, but my game now only powers up to GI.
For those who weren't following my batt removal process, the machine was turned off when I started removing the battery from the pcb. All connectors were off of the board except for the one going to the digital display. My thought had been that I'd lay it down on the pin glass, desolder, remove component, and be on my way. It didn't go like that.. Touching the pins with the desoldering tool caused smoke and electrical issues. I've never had that happen in my time working on games. The game had not been played in about 48 hours, but there must still have been a charge in the battery.
I'm trying to check fuses now, but this is exactly why I was hoping not to have to muck with the battery
