Help me repair this Dead Street Fighter 2 Bootleg Jamma - clueless individual!!

Well, usually if you can't fix it in the first 15 minutes, you're not gonna fix it in the next 15 hours. At least thats how it goes for me. :P

I agree.... but it's educating if nothing else.

Guys... I left the PCB after my initial clean up and posting last night - I had work to do (which I keep avoiding! ::)) - I've just taken another look at the board with fresh eyes - not with a magnifying glass as of yet but I did notice this...
Excuse me for not knowing my diode from my (see, I can't even think of anything else! :P) but the thing, I'm assuming is a diode (!?) had one of it's legs loose - it wasn't joined to anything whatsoever! To me this sounds as though a link has come loose on the circuit board! However, where on earth would it have linked to? And by simply bending it into place and having it touch where it was meant to go, would that be enough to just see, if at least, it works?
More images (sorry they are poor - its dark here now!) -

bottom of this 'corridor' is where the loose connection lies
Any help would be very welcome! :)

Had another good look and there is only one other thing that is concerning me (from just a naked eye point of view!) There appears to be 2 points on one of the chips that have small blobs of solder - looking at other chips they either have clean points or if they have anything soldered to them, it is a diode (or, at least, the thing I think is diode - i.e. same as the loose connection mentioned above!) - might it be a good idea to buy one of these diodes and solder it to the 2 points just to give it a go?
Sorry for being totally clueless about all the bits and pieces - I'm totally new to all of this kind of stuff! :dunno

That's a resistor.
The color bands tell you what value resistance it is (how many ohms).
