Always nervous after totally rebuilding a game. This is about my 5th or 6th and I am always petrified hitting the power switch for the first time. Well no smoke or flames thankfully, but this is all I am getting on the display. Must have something plugged in wrong. I am checking my pics, anyone have a clue?

Thanks

Close Chad, the long ribbon cable was flipped on one end. Now I get the bottom display on, but the top one does not work. It worked prior to the restore. I see a crack in the glass of the very right end of the top display. Will a display work with the glass cracked? I am thinking it was already cracked before the restore and I just didn't notice it, but not 100% sure. I did not drop it or bump it hard at any time.

I reset all ribbon cables. The bottom display works fine. The top not at all. Just trying to determine if it is shot because of the crack in the glass or I have another problem.

Thanks

Your right, I forgot about the digit being lit in the pic. I did reset all of the ribbon cables to the display. The long and the two short ones.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Probably best to see if you can test the display in another FH or a BOP. They use the same display. Hopefully you have a local pinball friend you can visit to test it out.
Plugging in the ribbon cable in wrong usually doesn't damage the display.

I forgot I had a display from when I converted my BOP to a 2.0. Put that in and it fired right up. Not sure what happened with my FH display. Worked perfect before I tore the game down and it was treated with kid gloves the whole time.

Thanks guys!
