The text on my DMD gets a bit blurry after a game or two.
"extra" dots appears close to the digits and text. Have checked
the displayboard for cold soldering and reconnected all connectors
to the board and the dmd....any more ideas?

Have you tried re-seating the display driver ROM ? (It's usually on a socket).
Otherwise it's possibly a heating and age problem with the driver IC.

Hmmmm...Couldn´t find any ROM on the Dot matrix Controller Assy...only a S/RAM 2064...and thats soldered on there. Or is the Display Driver Rom somewhere else?

If you can post the name of the machine that would help.

Here is your manual:

I'd re-seat all the roms. It looks like there are some cool homemade rom upgrades for that machine including one that adds swear words ... LOL

I don't know anyone in Sweden but I do have a lady friend in Sandnes, Norway.
