Here is my other thread:

What I thought was a flipper coil problem turns out to probably be related in some way to my new color DMD. Or I could just be crazy.
Here is the synopsis - last night I installed the color dmd. I watched a few animations and then went to bed. I had some friends over today and they all said the right flipper was weak. I thought it was just out of place because I rebuilt it last month. So I went to play it after they left and the right flipper is not only weak... it is EXTREMELY weak -- can't even hit the ball past mid field weak.
I asked for some help... checked out the connections, reflowed the joints... still weak. I unplugged the color DMD and the flipper works great!
Has anyone else had this issue? The color DMD plugs into slot J116 which I thought was just coin door power. It has a three prong connector to take what was in J116 and piggy back it onto the plug for the color DMD. I tried to take the old J116 connector and plug it into the AUX on the back of the color DMD but the cord isn't long enough.
So what do I do? Obviously I want to use my $400 color display. But if the game doesn't work with it installed... then what??
