I have a Williams System 11 F-14 Tomcat. All my displays were 100% when I purchased it but after transporting and setup the first player display is blank. The other 3 are working fine. I reseated the connectors on the display board and MPU but had no change.
After looking through the forum I see post about missing segments, scrambled text but nothing about one blank display. Last week it was bright and no segments were dim or missing. I understand the chips that control the alpha numeric displays control both player 1 and 2. If they were bad the player 2 display would be bad too, yes?
Where should I look next for the solution?

Thank you.

Quoted from JT-Pinball:

Switch player two display to player 1. If it works the player 1 glass is bad or that display board has a break somewhere. If it doesn’t work try using the cable from the working display.

Thanks JT

Quoted from chad:

They are soldered ( all 4 ) to the board and connectors are different. Will not work.

Chad, I guess the next step is to check the connectors again. Will update tomorrow.

No luck last night. Looks like a new display board is the way to go.
Now to decide on the red display or the blue.
Thank you all for your help.
