[Update; fixed. Loosened and reseated every chip on the game PCB, got it up and running!]

Howdy folks!

So I have an Atari Star Wars cabinet. The game isn't booting up (3 indicator LEDs stay lit). When I flip the Self Test switch I get a series of beeps and bloops (16 then pauses and repeats), and a screen that says "HARDWARE ERRORS PRESS AUX COIN TO CONTINUE". I didn't get an Accounting Information screen as the manual says, but immediately into the Hardware Error Display. Granted this is the screen I need I believe.

The issue I have is that it is not displaying any information other than HARDWARE ERRORS at the top and PRESS AUX COIN TO CONTINUE at the bottom. According to the manual, it should either list the bad ROM/RAM chips, or say NO ERRORS DETECTED. It also is still doing the bloops and bleeps. Pressing the Aux Coin button just cycles to the next test screen.

Any advice on this would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!
