Quoted from Warbound:Can you push the high voltage connector like halfway o the pins at tbe dmd? Then probe the dmd pins with your multi meter? This is to make sure the voltage is reaching the dmd pins. I do this all the time when I test out my dmd issues.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. It's strange for it to go out all at once since it was just working. And check all the pins in the cable for continuity.
Quoted from Shenanigander:Also i cant slide the connector up the pins a bit to access them to test if the voltage is getting to the dmd.
You could use one of those 3M squeeze wire connectors (can't remember what it's called) on #1 and 4 with a short wire coming out of each connector and test from them. When done take the connector off and wrap each wire with electrical tape. That's the down and dirty way. But if it didn't work in your Maverick then it's probably dead.
Quoted from Shenanigander:I heard they don't repair anymore. I have 2 used ones with partial issues coming form overseas. Fair price but one cracked and one semi gassing. Better than nothing and better than $700+ new after exchange rate, tax, and shipping.
You could always do the extender for way cheaper like mentioned above. 
Quoted from kbliznick:I'm confused. You said the connectors are different (reversed) between the displays in the 2 games. If that is correct than of course the displays wont light when you switch them between the games.
If he did that wouldn't he have blown something? 18v going into something that was designed for 5v.

Quoted from PinRob:A little off topic but are you LEDing the machine while it's on? That may lead to trouble IMO
I did that once and blew a transistor on my NASCAR. 
But it didn't affect the dmd.
Quoted from Shenanigander:Looking like I should redo the 5v connection on the power supply board. Reflow headers and new molex connector.
At least you know how to do that, I haven't the faintist idea how to do stuff like that.
