So today is day 19 for my button quails, the temperature only dropped once for 2 hours to 97. I see some veining in some of the remaining eggs, are they alive if they still have the veins, and do they have much chance of hatching.
Advice is most welcome, as I'm starting to get worried none will hatch.
I did have one internal pip on day 16, then it died :(
 
If all you see is veining then they failed to thrive and are most likely dead in the shell. You cold crack one open and check or wait 2 more days then candle again if nothing then open one and check it out if it is developing/developed then leave the rest for a couple more days. You could have a bad thermometer or even a cool spot in the incubator. good luck.

edited remark; Did you begin counting 24 hours after you put the eggs in the incubator? Example is if you put them in the incubator Monday at 9am then day one is Tuesday after 9am.

Yes I did count it from 24 hours after.
I don't only see veining there is a large mass too, but on some parts of the eggs I see large red veins.
