I'm not going there for another three hours, but I figured I'd ask now.

There's a Doctor Who at the arcade I used to work at that is popping one of the DMD fuses (3/8 amp? Those exist?). It happened after my friend there swapped DMDs between it and a Jurassic Park to test the JP DMD.

I don't work on DMD stuff. Never owned a DMD game, and haven't touched the internals of one in years. I read online to check the Bridge Rectifiers on the DMD board, but other than cable checks and ground checks, I'm lost.

Any help would be great.

Sounds like it from what I've been told

Ok. Im actually in front of the game
It's not getting the 60v to the dmd, but all the other voltages are there. I see a lot of wore out solder joints so I'll tackle them first.

The bridge rectifier on the board tested fine

If the soldering doesn't help, I guess a hv repair is needed. Or send the dmd board off.

There's a reason I have only games from the 80s...
