I bought some new LED displays from Pinball Solutions. The old displays were blowing F3 on the rectifier board.
Got some faint or missing digits which I am thinking will be the lamp driver board as its at least 35 years old?
Anyone come across a similar fault?
TIA

Have you repinned your connectors? If not why not?...lol.
Will not be lamp driver board. First place to start connectors......👍🏻
Cool. I was going to check them all next but needed a wingman to confirm the next place to check rather than spend hours which I will never get back lol!

Pin connectors next then!
 
When this happens Is the Moretti machine properly powered up? :rofl:

What happens if you move the displays around in the machine ? I used this to figure out that a brand new LED display I bought had arrived with faulty segments.
 
If my memory is correct power comes from J3 on the Sol board , J1 on mpu is where the data comes from . Displays are on a daisy chain player 1 then 2 than I think it's match display next , them player 4 and 3 last . As player 1 is ok , mostly likely it's the daisy chain which links all the displays together .

Yep J3. I'll have a probe on Monday and hopefully find the issue.
Considering the state it came to me I'm chuffed just to get the attract lights chasing!

The Chase lights which gives the infinity look around the back box are all on the aux lamp board only :thumbs:
 
3 faulty displays out of 5 , dear gods and little fishes . Hopefully they will replace them free of charge :(
