    Wow, I can't believe no one has brought up the HV section. Slow down - check the voltages out of the DMD controller, I'm betting your 62v line has gone open.

    DMD's do NOT outgas like you described, they start in a corner and take forever to get really bad. I had one I left in a game once for 3 years until I sold it, and I don't recall the tip that started outgassing even spreading in that time.

    Quoted from PinballManiac40:

    What is there to bring up? OP already stated DMD was confirmed at fault in another machine.

    ugg I read that wrong, my bad.

    Quoted from Crash:

    Outgassing usually happens from the top down, not the corners. Burn-in is more commonly found around corners.

    The bottom left corner is where is usually starts on almost every machine DMD I've had that has started.
