I was trying to swap my old plasma displays with PinScore LEDs, however there appears to be a problem with my original wiring. One of the plugs (small left hand side one with 6 wires) has a wire running fom it that goes to each display. I know this is wrong. Does anyone know where each of those 6 wires should go? I see 4 of them running to the power supply. Here is a pic of the plug. It has 6 spots for wires. 5 are filled and one of the 5 has 2 wires coming out of it. The 2nd of the 2 is the one running to all of the displays.

Help. I know that double wire is wrong. Should I just pull it ??

That is the +100V to the displays. Normal.

If that's normal and one single wire is jumpered to each display individually then how do you hook up PinScore displays, besides...doesn't look normal.

I haven't ever used pinscore displays, but they aren't going to need 100V so I would imagine they just ignore it.

If you feel like what you have is super weird looking, maybe post a pic of it so we can see what you are talking about.

This should help you out.

The high voltage is not used on your LED displays. I would leave that wiring in for backwards compatibility though.

Is that brown wire normally split off seperately to the 4 players displays? I've tried to see pics of the wiring, but I don't see anything showing that brown&white wire being spliced in 4 directions. Is that splice to each of the displays normal. And thanks big time for that drawing with the colors included !!

If you use the LED displays, you can just take the 100v fuse out completely.

A component or board can't burn up if it does not have power.

Fuse is out. I'm still trying to find an answer if my wires were cobbled together or correct.

Each set of wires going to each individual display has this connector for that 100v wire and the loom coming from the power supply has that wire jumpered off and spliced into 4 connectors that attach to the one shown (on each display)

Normal

Ok. Just seemed like the display driver would deliver that along with the rest of the wires in the connector as opposed to having that one wire jumpered individually to each display. Weird.

That is pretty standard practice. Bally loops certain bus voltages around in the same fashion. The +43v in the backbox takes many hops in a bally.
