Can you upload a video showing all displays and the problem?
Post a clear picture of the MPU board.

Are the feature lamps working?
Do me a favor, replace that counterfeit 5101 RAM chip at U8 this time with an old genuine one. I've got a bunch of those with a high failure rate, last one I tested caused the displays to blank out a second after every score change.
Quoted from JethroP:I assumed that since the game booted the 5101 was good.
Quoted from northvibe:WHOAAA greatch catch Quench!! man such a little part that a counter fit breaks the game.
Helps when I experienced something similar. I think the memory cells lose their retention rather quickly, but not quick enough for the boot-up memory test to fail.
Quoted from JethroP:I have one display where some of the segments glow partially when they should not be lit. See the pic. What would cause this?
Try changing the 4543 decoder chip on the display board. If it doesn't fix it it might be the glass display.
