Checking out my new purchase, and note that the dmd driver is pumping out -139vdc on pin one, and -124vdc on pin two. What would drive the voltages up?

What's the title? I'm sure that will help.

Sorry Judge Dredd.

Some people put in semiconductors with different values to extend the life span of the dot matrix display.
But this shortens the life span of new dmds when put in.
So i would recommend a HV rebuild kit to solve the problem and save your display.

Any number of stressed or improper value components in the display HV section. Id start checking and measuring components and making sure the right ones are there.

I guess for the price, I may as well install an HV kit as the board probably has more than just one component failing.

Thanks for the input!

I recently had this same problem on my HS2. It caused a few sparks when I first turned the machine on! I was advised that this might be due to failed zener diodes under the TIP 102 transistors. Might be worth checking out.
