I have a System 1 display in a Joker Poker that is missing a couple of segments on the 1st and 4th digits. If I press on the display board just above the connector I can make it display all digits properly. No broken traces on the board, re-soldered all pins and connections on the board. The connector is fine because the problem follows the display in question.

Is it likely a bad connection from the board to the display glass? If so, anyway to fix the connection? From looking at the display I don't see how that is possible.

Thanks

It follows the display. I am guessing Chad may be right. Is there anything that can be done to fix the issue? Unlike Williams displays the connection is up in the glass so I don't see anyway to repair it.

UPDATE: it was the ic socket. it was not making a good connection with all of the legs on the ic. removed and replaced - all good.
