Hi All,

I have a 1988 Data East Time machine and the 3rd display is out. I tried swapping the cables with another display and it does not work. I was hoping for some suggestions to try, could this be a fuse? I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

It won't be a fuse problem. If you have experience with a DMM/voltmeter you can try testing for supply voltage at the display (careful, original displays are high voltage). Another thing you can look for is cracked solder joints under magnification. Beyond that, it is very likely the original displays are outgassed, and that requires replacing the display glass. I had two out on my DE Secret Service, so I bought an LED replacement board.
