I'm not quite verified yet, so this is the best I can do until the weekend!

Wondering if a The Simpsons 1990 owner can help me out with 2 things:

1. Player 3 and 4 entire display is out. Is this common, have some instructions for me to check it out without messing up the machine?

2. I have no lower display, which means I can't see a single piece of information in any audit, and have to cycle through the adjustments blind. Would you be willing to guide me through my showing me what the lower screen options look like in various modes? I have an idea, but for example I have no idea what should be displayed in areas like custom message, attract mode, etc.

Thanks guys!

Yes, very common. Probably an outgassed display. Best fix is with a new LED display panel for your machine. Several different people make a drop in replacement.

IN the old days you would buy a new glass and solder in. Glass is either unobtainable or stupid expensive these days. Swap out panel is the way to go

Looks like you can get Rottendog replacements if that's the direction you end up going.

Or they can get an Xpin display.

If you want to save a few bucks and build your own you can try this kit.

I'll be building mine when I get back from work.
