I had problems with old score displays with burnt spots, burnt traces on the board, burnt resistors, mismatched models, etc.. Nothing working proper and this is machine I am trying to restore so I bought a replacement 5 pack from Wolffpac Tech. Now I have soldered everything together and installed and none of the new displays working.. The fuse on the solenoid board has connectivity and was recently replaced and intact. Does anyone have suggestions on what it could be. It was wasn't previously working perfectly but I had 2 to 3 numbers flickering in each board.

My guess is you have a crappy connector. Displays get their power from the driver board and their logic from the MPU at J1, both of these connectors need to be spot on, if the pins are not good, you will have what you describe. Aside from that, I would check compatibility with the manufacturer to see if there is a specific jumper needed, which isn't uncommon with other aftermarket displays.

Shackler: I will contact manufacturer about possible step I was not aware about but more about what you indicated earlier, to clarify, both J1 pins on the MPU and J1 on the lamp driver board affect the score displays?

Do these replacements need the HV from the sol driver board?

I would repin and use new connectors.

Quoted from BigAl56:

None that I've put in. All they need is 5v. I pulled the HV fuse on mine.
