Hello everyone,
I'm hoping I can get a few suggestions on what type of contact cleaner I should use. I'd like to clean some of my wire connections leading to the Driver Board and DMD. I have a TSPP and the DMD blacks out every now and again and also shows incorrect literature. I pushed the connectors in and it seemed to help for awhile, but now it just happened again. I turn the machine off and on, then it goes away. I think if I clean up some of the connections it might eliminate the problem.
P.S. I also ran a DMD test and it tested fine. I do sometimes see little scribble lines in the DMD picture.

Sure you don't need new ribbon cables ?

I'm not sure. Is there a way to test them? I was thinking I'd try to clean them and then go from there. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Visually inspect the male pins and see if they are tarnished or the coating is worn off. If the former spray them with some DeOXIT and install and remove the connectors a few times. If the latter they should be replaced, and the female connector.

Ok, shall do. Thank you for the advise and recommending a contact cleaner.
