Quoted from matt_adams:Hi all, I wonder if anyone has had a problem of this sort or has any suggestions what could cause this.
I have a DE Star Wars that a (newish Vishay) DMD packed up in suddenly, just completely went one day. I tested it in another machine and it was dead so I put another display in it and it was instantly fine again.
After that a couple of weeks later the replacement display went weird (as the attached photos) and it was while I had the back box open to look at this (suspecting a ribbon cable or something similar) a cap on the power board went bang.

I have now put a new (X-pin) board in the game and the DMD is still the same. If I plug another display in it is fine so the game seems to have blown 2 displays!!
Is there anything that could cause that or is the dodgy power board lightly to be the cause?
I'm a bit reluctant to put another display in it unless I know its not going to happen again!
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. Luckily the power supply didn't burn out my DMD, but my DMD did look like that when I booted the game. Capacitor on my power supply had leaked and burnt up the traces around it. No guarantee the power supply caused your issue, but if I had to put money on, I'd say your power supply burnt out and you should be good to throw a new one in
