The same segment is missing on every digit across the top display; the other displays are fine, and the fault followed the display into another game.

Same segment missing on every digit of one display: loose glass lead

Cause: A lead of the display glass had been repaired before and had come loose from the board, so that segment line had no drive.

Checks

  • Find which segment it is in the manual's chart and trace it to its driver chip and resistor on the display board.
  • Reflow the glass leads and header pins and look for any lead that moves.

Fix

  • Carefully re-solder the loose glass lead to the board.

Display boards carry high voltage for the glass; unplug the game before handling them.
