Quoted from bestofthebunch:New display board in and it's all working perfectly so just need to know what to look at on old board to fix it

Follow the segment drive. Check the decoder output and compare to other segments. If the decoder is working, it is probably the UDN chip. Don't touch the probe to the -100v side of the circuit. Just the 5v logic level side. You can use your DMM to get a good idea if the HV driver is working. Just compare average voltages. if it is stuck at -100, then that is the problem if the decoder output is good.
