    Hello,

    I'm new to the Pinball world. Bought a Rocky and Bullwinkle 3 weeks ago and starting noticing issues with the DMD. First there would be lag between the play and display. Then it would go completely black for periods of time.

    I thought it just needed to warm up because typically happened when I turned on the game.

    Now when I turn on the game it displays the boot up message showing the version then goes completely blank. have played full games with it and it never came on.

    I am guess I likely need a new DMD. Anyone have any other suggestion that might help?

    TIA

    Are the connectors from the dmd well in place and not burned?

    As far as I can tell they are I checked all the connector I could get at and reconnected them. I doesn't appear to be gassed out or anything either. It's odd that it will display the version and game name etc. than just stop showing anything.

    Screen was blank for 30 Minutes and magically came back on. just played 3 games in a row without issue. It's seems to be going blank more and more and then just comes on again and stays on till I turn it off for a period of time than does it again.

    Are the voltages what they should be?

    Gonna check those. wonder if it may be the voltages although I'm not an expert on them. Might be losing voltage through the connectors?
