I'm having a slight problem with the DMD animations on my DE Star Trek. 99% of the animations and scoring are perfect. The DMD is beautiful, on the test every pixel is bright and clean. There are two animations where the DMD looks like it's missing a piece, like it's almost greyed out. Once it moves to the next animation it's perfect again, it's the same two that do it every time.
Is this a software issue? Could it be a chip that's going bad, or needs updated? I'm not a DMD person so I don't have much experience with DMD issues, and I definitely don't have experience with Data East DMD issues.
I'd love to hear a few thoughts on where to check for the problem. I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
