Got Donkey Kong fixed after several misfires. Seems that the screen is made up of a polarized cover screen (similar to Polaroid glasses) and if placed incorrectly the screen will be darkened. But when you rotate the plastic cover 180o it magically clears up before your eyes.
Also the top screen (where Kong throws down the barrels at you) was not showing all it's LCD displays clearly. So I simply cleaned all the internal contacts with nail polish remover. After some hassles with the controller not functioning (some clown placed a metal round disc in the controller) I had myself a fully working Donkey Kong unit! I might just scrounge eBay for more "not working" Game & Watches and see if I can get more working again!
