Synopsis
A319 Captain reported rejecting the takeoff when speed tape and altitude tape displays were lost.
Narrative
After powering the aircraft and completing my FFD (First Flight of the Day) items; I noticed that my ND was not powered up and had a single diagonal line through it. We sent in a Maintenance Request and notified base maintenance verbally. The maintenance technicians came and reset DMC (Display Management Computer) 1;2 multiple times; and ops checks were normal and a new Maintenance Release was obtained. We then taxied out to the runway. At 100kts callout; I noticed that my speed tape and altitude tape had red flags on my PFD. I called for rejected takeoff and rejected the takeoff on runway Z. During the rejected takeoff; the first officer called 80kts; and I brought the thrust reversers to flight idle and disconnected the auto brakes. The first officer made the call to ATC for rejected takeoff and made the announcement; Remain seated; remain seated; Remain seated." Tower asked us if we can exit the runway at ZZ intersection. We were at taxi speed and Told tower that we can exit the runway at ZZ safely. We exited the runway and brought the aircraft to a complete stop and completed the rejected takeoff checklist. Tower asked us if we needed any assistance. We called the Tower and told them that we needed a couple of minutes to assess the situation. Our brake temperatures were around 180 degrees and I set the parking brake. I called the FAs and asked them to make sure everyone was ok and remaining seated. They responded back that everyone was ok and everyone was in their seats. We called the tower and let them know that we didn't need any assistance and we were coordinating with maintenance and ops to taxi back to the gate. We called ops and told them that we did a high speed rejected takeoff and needed a new gate to return to. Ops called us back with the new gate info; and we safely taxied to that gate. We discussed the brake temperatures and determine that it was safe to taxi to the gate."
