    YES it happened to me on one of my congos on location. i was puzzled and installed a brand new DMD. a couple weeks later the same thing happened to the new dmd.
    so yes, 2 dmd displays cracked just like yours.
    the issue was the av board.
    the machine was on daily for about 12 hours.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Well, it's been about 3 weeks at this point, and so far there haven't been any further problems. No more blown fuses, no more melted bulbs, and the replacement DMD has been working fine.
    Maybe the original outgasing display was causing things to go haywire? Though, I've never seen a DMD cause these sorts of things before.

    read what i posted again. you may have missed it.
