Hi all,

Just picked up a Monday Night Football with known power supply board issues. The guy had a local tech tell him that the displays didn't work at all because of the 5v going out. I bought it anyway and had a new board waiting for it when it got here. After installing the new board, the displays work but the top display shows garbage. See pic. Thanks for the help!

OH, and I'm looking for any possible fixes I can try before shelling out for new displays. Thanks again!

Game functioned with the old board but nothing on the displays. I'm up for getting it fixed. Any recommendations?

Do you have a scope? Nope.
Did you try re-seating the cable to the display? Yes
Did you try turning the cable around end for end? Yes
Do you have anyone nearby that would have a Williams System 11 pin to test it in? Nope.
Was this a NEW board? It look like an original DE board so it is probably a pull from another pin or a repair. The board that came with the machine was the original that had war scars. The new board is the standard rottendog power board.
Did you talk to the person who you got the board from if it can be returned/tested? Not yet. I'm reasonably sure it isn't the new power board but I will send him a PM here and run this by him.

Anyone used TwoBits for board repair?

Actually, I have a Cyclone (11b) I wasn't thinking...

Tested on my Cyclone: Top display strobes the same 'On' parts of the digits. I'm pointing the official finger of blame at the display board.

Now: To get it fixed or go LED....

Patofnaud, That is exactly what I did. I have the new LED display en route and will sell this bad one for parts. Thanks again
