I'm having a problem accessing the main menu on my KI2. I can get the menu to display and am able to select the diagnostic sub menu (because its at the top of the main menu and already highlighted), but I can't scroll down the main menu.

Oddly, I CAN scroll down the diagnostic menu though. I want to check the volume setting, but can't the highlight to move down the main menu.

Did the button test in the diagnostic menu and the joysticks and buttons all seemed fine, so not sure what's happening. The PCB is mounted in a non KI JAMMA cab, if that makes a difference here.
 
I recall having this problem long ago. It was either a bad hard drive or a test switch that was on/off instead of a momentary switch that KI2 expects. If you are trying this in your Primal Rage cabinet turn the test switch on to get the menu and then off again before trying to change your selection on the main menu.

If you still can't get to the volume control in the menu you can use pin 2 (Volume -) and pin 3 (Volume +) on connector J3 to change it directly.

You were right on the mark, flicking the test switch did the trick! Thanks for the help!

BTW, in case anyone ever needs to know, the main menu can be accessed at any time the game is running by pressing the test button (or in my case flicking the switch). For some reason I was thinking the test switch needed to be on when the game was first turned on to get to the menus, but that is not the case.
