Williams SYS 3 - 6 Display issues
« on: September 06, 2009, 06:56:02 PM »
I have a Williams display in World cup thats missing segments and a digit its not the display driver board as other displays test fine in that spot and ive also tested continuity between the Connector and the glass display which are all fine is there anything else i can check or is this display stuffed?

The display is definitely stuffed. If the fault moved, then it would have been the board/wiring/connector, but you have proved that it is the display itself.

Not much you can do about it other than replacing the display glass.

No worries mate.

Personally I'd just order a new glass, but it's up to you...

Depending on what digit of the display is missing you could swap the faulty display glass into the master dispaly board. It's the same display unit but a couple of the digits are unused.

Also if things get desperate www.pinballeon.com had a guide on changin the displays over to LED units.
