Hi,

Can't figure out the problem/solution with my JP DMD. When I boot the machine, the DMD works perfectly. I mean, every pixel lights perfectly while the T-Rex does its tests. A few seconds after that, the DMD acts like it's outgassing and shuts off completely. (Sometimes, it comes back for a while but acts like it's outgassing)

-Yes, I tried another DMD and it worked perfectly for 5 minutes before it did the exact same problem.
-Yes, I reseated many times each connector / ribbon cable from the DMD to the boards.

I really don't think it can be the display chip, when it worked for 5 minutes, every animation was displayed perfectly on the DMD.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you!

Dave

I think your 'shot in the dark' hit something! One of the fuse sockets was loose. Now the DMD stays on for a longer time. I will install another fuse socket tomorrow on that board and see what it does.

Thank you so much, I will keep you informed if it works.

Sadly, nope... It keeps getting the same glitches.

A dozen tries later: It works perfectly... After 1 minute or 2 , the DMD disappears. After another minute, it reappears like it's an outgassing one. (Flashing, missing spots, disappears/reappears") that's really weird and I can't figure out what to do.

I just played a full 20 minutes game. No issues at all. No animation whatsoever with the game over screen / sequence. After that, when I started a new game, it looked like an outgassing DMD.
