Hello all, I have a Cyclone Pinball machine that I recently aquired and the 'Player 3' display just went blank yesterday. Any ideas on where to start looking for the problem? I most definately do not want to buy a new display unless I have to as I would be pretty angry about spending that type of $$ and it didn't fix the problem! Anyone have an idea where to start??
 
With the power off-

remove and reattach the ribbon cable from both the display glass itself and the driver board ends. (All you are doing here is "cleaning" the connection pins and trying to improve the connection).

Power back on - any change?


If not - power off again - your goal is to physically switch the player 3 & 4 displays. You may be able to do this by simply switching the cables (probably not), so you'll need to unhook the cables - pop the displays out and switch them to the other location. Hook the ribbon cables back up and power back on.

If your player 3 display is indeed "dead"....and since you just moved it to the player 4 display....then player 4 should now be "dead". If indeed it is - that's a pretty good indication the score display itself is bad.

If not - and the glass works when you move it to the new location - you've proven the glass is good and then we'll have to start something else. Let me know, good luck.
 
Pin LED

After looking at all the soldering and unsoldering involved with switching the displays, I just went ahead and ordered a whole new display from MAD Amusements. Hopefully this will solve the problem. If the LED's take out the high voltage then I am sure it has to work.
