I normally don't run my machine for more than an hour or two and then I unplug it. It was on for several hours and now the Color DMD is black, the machine shoots all the balls out and doesn't stop attempting to do so, however the idol doesn't turn to release the balls in there.

Not sure where to start with troubleshooting. I took off the glass and started the game and was able to go through some of the modes. I can't run tests without seeing the screen. I do have my original display. Nothing seems to be wrong on the board that I can tell.

I've made some minor soldering repairs, but I could use help on this one. Thanks!

The F116 and original J116 that was plugged in the male-to-male connector for the color dmd look fried. Where can I get a replacement?

Also... from reading other posts, it seems like the Color DMD has caused this on this game and related games(TZ, TAF, TCFBL). Is there a long term solution to prevent the fuse from blowing in the future?

I installed the Color DMD about a month ago. The power was off during installation. I haven't had any issues. I don't keep the machine on unless I'm playing it. It doesn't stay on for more than an hour, normally. The game was on for about 8 hours one day last week and that's when it had a problem.

The game was a high end restore from Treasure Cove. They replaced all the lights with LEDs. There are no mods on the game.

Is it the fuse I need to replace or the wiring plug?

Haha. Nice! I couldn't edit the topic after it posted.
