Quoted from DCfoodfreak:
Did you disconnect the old power wiring completely. In the directions it says to but as I found out you have to leave the ends in the main board in.

I never noticed that in the instructions but it is obvious now that I'm looking at it. Does anyone know what can happen if you don't? I had been running a Color DMD in my STTNG. When I tried hooking up the original DMD, it didn't work, and I noticed I wasn't getting power from the DMD controller board. Could I have damaged it?

I was only swapped out the Color DMD to try in my TAF until I got a 2nd Color DMD. Now I done really need the high voltage section to work, but I am just curious to know what may have happened.
