Quoted from ChadH:Dang. I checked and everyone is out of the X-Pin XP-DE5047 power supply.
So, the regulators on the Rottendog that are out of spec... wouldn't it be possible for me to swap those out with ones in spec? Has anyone offered up a solution? I'm good with a soldering iron but would just need to know what to do.
Chad, Jay is right on the money w/ these Rottendog supply's used for this generation of D.E's
I recently purchased a '91 Batman from a pinsider on here and it came w/ a Rottendog supply. I remember hearing a plethora of problems on these when they were first introduced. (Mostly involving the Dmd display.) Initially, it didn't cause any issues but after a couple of days, I noticed flakey issues were coming up - mostly involving the Dmd. I popped it into my buddy's Checkpoint - same result and *more* issues! I'll preface this by saying his Checkpoint was working perfect...
I'm not too familiar w/ third party items such as Rottendog, et. al. - I prefer to fix the original. But, I will NOT be using them on any of my Data East pins... Can't comment on their other products. I don't want to state this as a fact or pure speculation on my part, but I wonder this is why some of the older Dmd displays of this era are now dead? Again - pure speculation!!!
I went w/ the Xpin power supply; I didn't have the original and have been very pleased! Rob aka Borygard is the person I purchased mine from....
