    I have a Rottendog DMD controller DMD089 that is causing all dots to illuminate on the display. I swapped in a WPC controller and the display worked fine. All voltages checked out. Any ideas of what might be causing this behaviour? Also can I use the WPC scamatic for this or are there differeces?

    Thanks Don

    The board came in a game I purchased so not sure of its age however it does look new

    The williams controller functions normally its only the Rottendog that exhibits the behaviour I'll take some photos....

    Ok images didn't post in the right order but I think you'll understand...

    Ideas

    Also voltages measured as follows:

    68 vdc = 66
    -105 vdc = -138
    -115 vdc = -153
    -125 vdc = -155
    5 vdc = 5
    12 vdc =12
