One score display does not work properly while the others are fine.

Bally six-digit score display fault fixed by replacing transistor Q14

Cause: A failed transistor (Q14) on the display board.

Checks

  • Swap the display into another position to confirm the fault follows the display, not the driver wiring.
  • Follow a Bally display failure guide to work out which transistor matches the bad section, then test it.

Fix

  • Replace Q14 (or whichever transistor tests bad) and reflow the display's header pins, which commonly crack.

Bally displays run on high voltage (around 190 V). Power off and let it discharge before handling the display board.
