I purchased a set of Rotten Dog Bally/Stern displays for my Xenon, after I installed them none of them lit up. I looked real close and I could barely see player one lighting up. I re installed one of the old displays and it worked fine. The instructions said plug n play am I missing something? Kevin
 
I had a similar issue with the Williams versions of Rottendog displays for my Flash. When I emailed Rottendog about it Jim said that if the boards are not getting the +5V properly. They'll still work, but very dim, if they aren't getting the +5V. In the process of checking this I had disconnected/reconnected a few of the connectors and everything was fine.

My hunch is that my connectors had become oxidized on the mating surfaces because the game had sat for 20+ years with no displays hooked up. By re-seating the connectors I probably scraped through this oxidation (but also means I should probably replace the connectors themselves)
