PinScore LED Displays and Power Supplies

PinScore™ LED displays are powered from the game's 5V power supply and require no high voltage. PinScore™ LED displays use nearly half the power of competitive LED displays, making them safe to add to your game. PinScore™ displays have been tested in all games and are known to work reliably. In very rare cases, a game with a failing 5V power supply may not function once a PinScore™ display is installed. Other symptoms of a failing power supply include erratic game resets and erratic game behavior. In these situations, the game's power supply should be repaired or replaced prior to installing PinScore™ LED displays. 

The plasma technology found in your machine's old displays required high voltage to energize the segments. The high-voltage circuits in pinball machines have high failure rates and are difficult to repair as the parts are obsolete. LED displays will function correctly even if your original game's power high-voltage power supply has failed. You can choose to disable your high-voltage supply after installing these displays by removing the appropriate fusing (see your machine's documentation). This will reduce the risk of electric shock when servicing the machine. If your machine requires a new power supply, PinScore™ power supplies designed explicitly for LED displays are available for many games.

Installation

• Installation time: About 20 minutes
• Tools required: 1/4” Nutdriver, phillips screwdriver

1. Unplug the AC power from your pinball machine. Remove game backglass. Unplug all display board connecting cables and remove original display board.
2. Set the Data East Jumper (JP1), located to the right of the MPU Cable connector. If your game is a Data East Game, ensure the jumper at JP1 is present.  If your game is a Williams game, remove the jumper.  You may elect to keep the jumper with the board if you plan on moving the display to another machine in the future. Setting this jumper incorrectly will not damage your display or game, but the display will not function correctly. 
3. Mount the new board. If you want to install new mounting hardware, screw the 4 hex metal standoffs into the wooden backbox insert panel. Sandwich the fiber washers between the screw heads and PS-12232 circuit board and the back of the circuit board. Hand-tighten the screws so that you may align the displays with the backglass windows before finally securing the board. If further alignment is necessary, you may adjust the insert panel door hinges and latch in the backbox.
4. Connect the cables. Not all connectors are used on all games. The 2 connectors labeled EXTERNAL DISPLAY are not used in the PS-12232-P16 system. The ribbon cable goes to the connector labeled MPU CABLE. The power connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect alignment. Ribbon cables are not keyed and it is possible to mis-align the connector. Observe correct polarity on all ribbon cables - the red striped wires on all ribbon cables go to PIN #1 (also labeled as RED) on all boards.
5. Double-check all connections, plug in the machine, and turn the game on. The LED’s will light up. Pressing the diagnostic pushbutton labeled SW1/DISPLAY TEST on the PS-12232 board will illuminate all segments of all displays. This indicates that all components of the PinScore™ System are operating correctly. The thumbwheel BRIGHTNESS control labeled R10 on the right side of the board allows you to set your preferred illumination level.

Warranty

All PinScore™ display products are covered by a 5-year, transferable warranty.  Should your display fail, contact your distributor for repair or replacement options. PinScore™ products will be repaired or replaced at the distributor’s discretion.

PinScore™ LED displays are a replacement product for aging pinball machines. While PinScore™ LED displays are carefully engineered to replace as many high-failure parts as possible and retain robustness, there remains a possibility that other parts of your machine may need to be repaired before your game will function correctly. These parts include but are not limited to your machine’s MPU,  transformer, wiring, and fuses. The PinScore™ warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, faulty wiring, aftermarket game modifications, and incorrect aftermarket repairs.
