I've been having some issues with my LOTR and I am stumped. While playing a game the DMD will randomly go blank and a few seconds later will return to normal. It will do that a few times during a game and then eventually the game will stop playing and the whole machine resets. So far I have done the following:

1) Confirmed all connectors are completely seated.
2) Replaced the ribbon cable from the CPU board to the display board.
3) Replaced the display ROM.
4) Replaced the display board.

None of that helped. Anyone have thoughts on what else to L@@K for? Thx

ok, spent some time on this again this morning. I measured the 5v feed and it reads 4.96v
Let me spend some time listing out the mods on this game and then what I discovered this morning.

Mods:
1) 100% LED's
2) LED OCD
3) ColorDMD
4) Led Flipper Buttons
5) Path of the Dead, 3 lit up figures
6) Removed the fluorescent bulb and all of it's associated wiring and transformer, added LED interactive back glass panel. (Currently removed for access to troubleshoot)
7) Pinsound with Pinsound speakers

Discovered:
I removed the pinsound CPU adapter, ribbon cable and power to the Pinsound. Now the game plays fine, except I don't have any sound. Display never flakes out and game never resets. sooooo Why is the pinsound causing me trouble? Am I pulling too much power? Is the CPU adapter defective?

I also have a TSPP pretty much setup with all the same mods: LED's, LEDOCD, ColorDMD, LED Flipper Buttons, No fluorescent (Interactive LED board instead), and Pinsound with Pinsound Speakers and it works 100% fine.

It's 5.04v at CN2

So I added the Pinsound back in today 1 part at a time. CPU adapter first. Game played Fine. Added power to Pinsound, still played fine. Then added ribbon cable. Then I had issues again, of course adding the ribbon cable also enabled the sound again so it was driving the speakers, which I assume use a fair amount of power. But then I noticed the display would only flake out and the game reset in the path of the dead figures were on.....The are triggered by a switch on the VUK. So I unplugged the path of the dead mod and now the game is ok again. I assume I just have too much on the 5v channel. Is my only option to remove a mod? If so I guess the POTD figurines will have to go, sound and colordmd are far better.
