Hi all, I took a ColorDMD out of a GB and am putting the original DMD back in but the display isn't turning on...does the way it is hooked up look correct? What am I missing? Thanks for any help or input!!

Thank you! I'm starting to wonder if the DMD itself is bad.

Ya, looks right with data and power. Why don't you humor me, turn the game on, take your DMM and test for DC voltage at that power plug. Red is 5v and black is ground.

funny enough. I have my stock GB red led dmd fs :-p

Thank you! Just did that and it showed 5V...here is where I tested it just to make sure I did it in the right place...

Just to follow up on this, it ended up that the DMD itself was bad. I bought the one from northvibe and hooked it up and am back in business!!
