I can confirm that player 1 & player 3 are missing the same digits. (00-000)
Can i swap player two (Working) display cable onto player 1 display to check cable?
NO ABSOLUTELY NOT - DO NOT DO IT WITH WMS DISPLAY CABLES - THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE - they have different pinouts at the master display end. At the player display unit they obviously have to be the same because the display boards are identical.
Go to
www.firepower.com (I think that is the site address, it's blocked at work) and get the drawing for the display board, have a look at the descriptions for the wire connections along the top of the board. Notice that they are not identical between player connections. This means you can not just swap them over. You may damge displays by trying this.
