The dumbest things seem to happen to me lately. I just got done moving my Ghostbusters down to the basement, and that involves removing the back box from the cab. So I took pictures of everything, as I usually do... And put it back together again after the move. Now the DMD will not power up again. The rest of the machine works fine. I reseated the display cable a couple of times, and I have 5v at the power plug for the DMD. Am I missing anything else?

Can the ribbon cable be mistakenly put on backward?

Loose ground?

You freaking genius. I don't remember undoing the data cable at the DMD side, but sure enough, I flipped it and it fired right up. Thank you!! I feel like a dumbass... But at least it wasn't a bad DMD.

Awesome, glad to hear! Did this myself on my Space Station when I replaced the display.
