I'm having an issue with the DMD on Bram Stokers Dracula. It has been slow to start at startup for about a year, it would take a min. or 2 to start and now it has stopped. I checked the DMD in another game and it worked fine.
Thinking it was a power issue I replaced the DMD controller board with a new one. No help, still no power.
I'm getting a reading of -144v at the test point on the DMD Controller board where it should be -125v. That's too high.

Why is that? I'm assuming that has something to do with my problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It's fixed. It was a bad DMD. I tried a different DMD in the machine and it worked. Not sure why the bad one worked in another game but not Dracula. Maybe it was on the verge of gassing out and it just happened to work that one last time when I switched it to another game??? I'm not sure but I'm good now.
