Honored ContributorI have a DE2 Board and one segment of one of the seven segment displays is dead. I was wondering if there is anywhere to get a replacement seven-segment display from so I can replace it. It got this way soon after purchasing but has slowly been driving me crazy!
Thanks for any help and Merry Christmas!

Don't know what the correct part number would be, but they would have them. It's very easy to blow out segments, if you drive too much current or voltage through them. The current should be limited by a resistor, but it it got shorted out, that would do it. The part number may be listed on the schematic for the board. PeteHonored ContributorThanks for the reply Pete. I just looked at the DE2_Schematic.pdf located at the bottom of the page here:http://www.altera.com/education/univ/materials/boards/de2/unv-de2-board.html. I don't seem to see a part number but I can search digikey for a similar one. They seem to be smaller than normal seven segment displays I have run across and their pins are on the sides and not the top and bottom.
Thanks for the tips off to scour digikey!
