On one display, the 'h' segment lights whenever the middle 'g' segment lights. The fault moves with the display, and the driver chip tests normally.
Two segments always light together on one display: bad display glass
Cause: An internal fault in the display glass itself.
Checks
- Test the segment driver chip (Z1) as described for these displays.
- Lift the driver pin for the extra segment; if the segment still lights, the glass is bad.
Fix
- Replace the display glass (or the display).
Gottlieb displays run on high voltage; work on them unplugged.
