Just brought one of these and the dmd isn't working (wasn't when I showed up either). How do I determine if it's the dmd itself or something else? Everything else seems to function okay on this. I have 4.73V on the power plug for the controller board.

The 0.5A fuse was blown and when I replaced it TR3 GLOWED and then the fuse blew. Not sure what this tells me, if anything..

Looks fine to me. Where I'm pointing in the second picture is what glowed when the 0.5A fuse was replaced.

Thanks Chad I'll check into that. Two questions:

Are there any reasonable power board replacement options? The guy I usually have do my board work is.... Overwhelmed.

Is there any way, less of plugging it into another DE game which I don't have, to test and see if the DMD itself is good? My seller told me to let him know if it ended up needing replaced and he'd get it done. But if it's good I don't want to even mention it.

Inserts are good on it, they were just off in that particular pic as he was playing for some reason.

The board definitely has issues and either needs fixed or replaced, I just don't know if the dmd also has problems. There's no way the dmd could cause a new or repaired power board to present new issues? I'm fine with dealing with one issue and moving to the next, just want to make sure I don't spend money and then immediately break what I replace because I didn't do my due diligence in verifying something.

Buying a PIN2DMD and hoping that fixes my issues. If the only section of the power supply with issues is the DMD portion then an LED display should be fine...I hope. Game plays great otherwise.

Bottom portion (the easy part!) is looking good. Still a lot of work to do.

I don't suppose anyone has any of the pieces shown in the latter pics--they don't need to be perfect. Discards from a replacement, etc, would be just fine. I'm referencing specifically the rear left plastic, the helicopter plastic, one target sticker (maybe someone bought a set and didn't need them all?), and the mirror.

Done for now! A few more touches (and a new PIN2DMD) and it'll be on the market for the next guy. Fun game, in spite of the super cheese callouts and music.

Got my pin2dmd today and I'm super confused. How do any of these cables go with this?!

PXL_20210512_165250808 (resized).jpg

I'm assuming the two plugs on the far left are unneeded as power is supplied differently but the ribbon cable has me really confused.

Ha, I figured it out shortly after making that post. I thought I got it deleted but I guess not.

As you said, kinda need the controller board plugged in..... Lol

Project complete! Only two things left really: replace the one missing drop sticker and secure the DMD a bit better (going to use the mounts from the speakers and some metal brackets... ALL of my dmd mounts are broken, ugh!). Then it's time to move on to a new home now that it's nice and clean.

Oh man I'd take LW3 over dude every time. I love the simple cheesy fun factor of lw3, I think I'll miss this one too. Alas, only room for 7 and black knight sword of rage comes next week.... It is what it is. I'm just happy to have made one breathe again.
