I got 2 digits out on all displays. It is the 100,000's and the 10,000's digits. I believe that the MPU is the source of the problem. I have repined the connector and I also checked each display to ensure that there was not a short causing the problem per the Pinwiki guide. How do I go about checking the digit enable signal is present? I watched the 2 digits flicker right before they disappeared.

You linked Sterns Playboy from 2002. Is that correct?

If not and you're talking about Ballys 1978 Playboy, how have you gotten the game to display millions since it was a six digit game from factory? Are you running the aftermarket 7 digit ROM/hardware mod?

Thank you catching my mistakes, I corrected the post above to show a 6 digit game instead of a 7 and corrected the linked game to Bally.

Also changed out U11 and that did not help.

I changed the MPU for another and all digits now work. So that proves that the MPU is at fault.

I guess that I got ahead of myself here. Running a display test all digits work, so I must have some corruption in memory. I'll try clearing that out to see if my 2 missing digits come back.

It was data corruption. I freaked out sorry guys.
