I was wondering about this as well. I have a couple of displays that are dull. I tried connecting the outer pins of the display to the gi circuit for 1 minute with no success. I havent tried the 9v battery.
I will monitor this thread with interest.

Another way of doing it Dan is use the coin lockout coil on the coin door for about 3-5 seconds.  That usually works well.

I did the coin door coil method. It worked really well.
I only did it for a about 2 seconds. I was a bit scared to do it too long. Anyway the result was great.
Thanks Blair for your tip.

Shit, your game trying that   Isn't the coin lockout coil 25 volts on these??!! i would've thought that would destroy the display! (i hadn't heard of this being done before to revive a dull display)

Glad to know it worked for you though

I've used the coin lockout coil before but killed a couple of displays in the process

I have used this method on pretty much all of my system 1 machines and it has worked well on about 90% of displays.  I only leave the display hooked up for a few seconds though.
