Hello! Try lighting them up using AC for an hour or two. A small sign transformer with a variac works fine. This will fire the segments that don't light up using DC, and will bake off the mercury products that cause the poisoning. Do not run so much current through the segment that it turns red hot though. A few milliamps is enough.
