Hello Pinball friends!
I'm so happy as I have just got my first Pinball.. a 1995 Batman Forever!.
It is working ok, I enjoy it a lot, and i fixed some small issue.
I have now an issue, and I do not know where I can look.
the big DMD is like splitt in 2 half... the left one is blurry and the right one is perfect.
so you cannot read well the scores, the info etc...
can someone suggest me what I can check to fix this issue?

I have run the diagnostic on the DMD and the full orange screen is ok... while I cannot see the vertical single line of the left screen...

many thanks

Danny

re-seat dmd rom

#4 11 years ago

Thanks Akuma for the suggestion. I have removed both dmd-roms, cleaned all pins and plug them back... Still no luck! It is really a strange issue that only half of the screen is affected.
If someone can get more ideas... In the test menu of DMD, i cannot see the single vertical line pattern on the left area... All other tests are ok, full dmd test and horizontal line...

Reseat all ribbon cables or replace them

I had some free time today so I run some more tests. i have replaced both dmd roms with a version 2.0 and the issue is the same.
Also I disconnected both ribbon cables, and reconnected them the oer way from both sides, so if the issue was on the other half of the screen I could say for sure the cables were defective... But the issue was still on the left side.
I remember I have read something about some resistors I habe to check... But maybe someone expert here can tell me more about this...
Thanks a lot
danny
