Hello!

I have just received a LOTR, and while it plays great I have a few issues.

First of all, then I cannot enter the service menu. It appears that the 'Begin Test' button doesn't work. Can anyone link some pictures from their own machine of the wiring?

Secondly, the DMD seems to be in good shape during startup and through the game, except for certain situations where it won't show specific text/events.
Examples where it won't work properly:
Path of the Death - Only shows 250 and 500 souls, 100 souls is just pitch black.
Various modes and multiballs - Just shows the top of the display when idling in the mode.

Anyone have any ideas what to do?

Quoted from LTG:

Until someone posts pictures, the switch matrix in the manual should have the wiring. Just two wires - the switch shorts them together.
The DMD, can you try a known working one ? Sounds like yours is out gassing.
LTG : )

Thanks Loyd

I guess that gives me a reason to upgrade to a ColorDMD while I'm at it...

I'll look at the switch matrix, but if people have any pictures I'd still like to see them!
