Wow, I've never seen one fail like this before. Usually the panel will just die with no visual indication on the board. It appears you have at least two component failures, a capacitor and something else on the far right in that photo that looks burned to a crisp. Maybe a resistor? The electrolyte leaking from the capacitor looks to have done damage to the board. Vishay does repair these, but only certain contacts will allow you to do this. And that's if it's a Vishay, which I doubt. His only option at the moment is a DMD Extender. Have him look at this thread, it steps you through every detail. If he's not into a DIY solution then he needs to sell the game. This is literally the only option until the simpler PinballSP LED display kit becomes available.

Repairing these yourself is impossible because the glass will have to be removed, which is hundreds of tiny little connections. And I can't imagine it's cost effective either to have Vishay do it (again, it doesn't look like a Vishay) compared to a $250 DMD Extender solution.

It is. David can now be reached easily, you will be put on a short waiting list for about a month.

That won't be an option, these have been out of production for a long time and nobody has one, even for $500+. At that price it's nearly half the value of the machine.

I doubt this, the display generates its own high voltage (+60v/+100v) from a low voltage +18v source coming from the game's power supply.

I've seen cases where these are listed as available but if you call them or add it to your cart they are not. Having a blown DMD is a big turn off to buyers. I can't exactly say what impact it will have value wise but the loss will probably exceed the value of the DMD.

Even if PBL has them for some reason they are not taking orders until the end of the month. He can order an Extender and have all the other parts in hand by the time the Extender board ships/arrives.

SmartDMD is an option too but the software is very buggy. It's been a big problem for me.

You can test it on any of the games you have. Just be sure to change the display setting to Sega large 192x64 using the configuration utility on the SD card before disassembling the kit and sending it to him. You just won't be able to physically do a test fit because it's a larger 17.3" screen.

Check out my thread, I list all the parts and assembly details.

PinballSP has a large display kit in the works.

I'm pretty much the DMD Extender go-to guy. If you need any help shoot me a PM. I see these large Sega DMD threads about once a month and have become quite familiar with things.

Bump. What did you end up doing?

Curious, did this ever work out?
