Check the switch contacts on the back of the Start button are touching when you push the button

Refit the top RHS connector on the MPU board

Check the diode on the credit button is not shorting out against the door.

Lightly sand the pins in the connector with 360 Wet/Dry. Reinsert the connector housing and then push each wire into the connector.

In the future - you may need to replace the pin connector and pins
