the dmd on my Austin powers is having problems with low intensity images. bright text and graphics are fine. dim text is mostly missing. out gassing or board issue?

Could go either way. Probably DMD.
Best bet, find someone with another dmd pin and put your dmd into theirs for a minute to see how it behaves.

Same problem here on my TSPP. Solution?

My bet is display.
If they still use Vishay they are not noted for their longevity.

Age???

the advice was even already given above

Swap the Dmd with the one on your getaway and see.

I breifly thought of that but I assumed that they would be different. I'm learning that a lot of parts are the same ones used by many different manufacturers--Williams, Stern, etc. Thanks for the advice, but I already ordered a new one for my TSPP. Figure if that's not the problem, then I'll use it soon anyway.

Ribbon cable to DMD, reseat both ends a couple times and see if things improve.
