Starting on one of my Hook projects and found that the DMD is scrambled, begins to clear up as it warms up, then goes out completely. After letting the game cool off, it exhibits the same behavior. I have deduced that it is the HV section of the power supply. Ill be replacing R95 on the DMD board regardless, but I haven't worked on the HV sections of these power supplies before. After poking and prodding my meter at the DMD power connector J2, I find that I am getting only -48v on J2p6 and -68v at J2p7, where I should be getting -98v and -110v respectively.

My question is, in addition to the capacitors and header pins on the power supply (which I'll be replacing regardless), what other components on the power supply should I be looking at replacing?
