Thanks but my DMD has no pins like that at all. It's a Cherry branded unit and has big long ribbon cables, they are not even soldered.
Any repairs for them?
Simon.
ooohh, not good news im afraid. Those boards are really hard to repair without the right gear. First you need to use a diamond tip bit in a router and grind the glass away enough to expose the conductor that is sandwiched between the glass, then you need to somehow attach another piece of wire to the conductor track, which is more like a resin (Homepin could probably enlighten us more on this?) then a metal track, and glue it all in place.
You can get this resin from pinball places, but it will cost $40. The other option is a window demister repair kit from SuperCheap Auto or the like and try that. From what I understand the join cannot be soldiered as the resin track on the glass will just burn.
Even after all this is done and you just happen to get it working, reliability may still be an issue due to the constant vibration a pin cops. May be better just keeping your eye out for a working second hand display or bite the bullet and get a new one..
