ATARI MIDDLE EARTH DISPLAY HELP
« on: December 12, 2009, 06:55:59 PM »
I recently purchased a POS Atari Middle earth pinball from mark C i think i have it all sorted except the displays.   When first powered on the displays show nearly all segments but during gameplay  every second digit flickers but they all show the correct number.    Where do i start???

I'm not familiar with this game but would try disconnecting all the displays but one and try one at a time incase a bad display is causing the error. Then try each display, one at a time. This should tell you whether you have one or more faulty displays or a fault in the logic which control them.

Sadly this game has the display on the bottom apron and all 4 displays are one unit

I thought the Middle Earth was board-less?? or you fitted your own??

Happy to help Dan, if some schematics are around....
