Hi guys im from brasil, and it is my first topic, i need a help from you.
My goldeneye display presents this problem.
the dot matrix test is OK, ( pic 1)
when i play, is ok when the display show just a numbers (pic 2)
but when needs a little more "grafics" like a images or videos from the movie , the display faded out (pic 3, 4, 5 and 6)
the problem is not continuous, sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not
can you guys help me?
Quoted from rivalem:so, theres no problem on the boards, is it a DMD problem?
yes just like what ForceFlow stated,DMD's last for a very long time but not forever...There's one thing to try and see if it clears up the problem.Power off the game,reseat the ribbon cables in the backbox and the one going to the display.Do this slowly and gently so you dont miss or bend any pins.Post back what happens

I already did a lot of it in my life already LOL 
((
i did a lot os stuff in this case, clean the boards, cleans the plugs and cables.
i never change the cables and never change boards and (or) DMD.
Quoted from arakissun:This begin to happen on my STTNG last night.Soon will need new one like your.
the bigger problem is, im living in brasil, everything here is expensive, mainly for pinball, buy a new DMD is gonna be a big aventure
Quoted from Mitch:The sooner you replace the dmd the better. Outgassing dmds put extra stress on the contoler board and can eventually damage the board to.
great information thanks
