Just to throw this out there, I never had a problem with resets using the old display. Just when I have the new display installed.
It seems to happen during muti-ball. I contacted Randy at ColorDMD and he stated that this was a 5 volt problem and to check the bridge or capacitor on the 5V supply line. Another suggestion, was there was to much load of the 12 volt side. Not sure now to test for that...

I think that I want to tackle the 5 volt suggestion first, but I'm not sure where to look on the power/driver board. I'm sure that this have been covered before, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for that will tell me where the 5 volt line is.

Great vid!! Thank you Chris Hibler!

I got:
TP8 16.8 DC volts
TP6 71.7
TP7 21
TP3 11.9
TP2 5.0
TP1 13.9
TP4 .039

I got the tool to do the work, just don't have the info on what it takes to rebuild it.

4.9 dc volts

I only have the problem with the ColorDMD is connected. Not a problem at all with the original display. Flipping the flippers at the same time does not reboot the pin with the original display.

AHhhhh, I still trying to wrap my head around this. Sorry.

Yes sir, Let me get the manual out so I know what connectors to pull. BRB

4.98

Great idea, I'll do that now.

Just found this. Something else to fix before I go any farther. J115 Not sure if this is my problem, but I would like to fix it correctly.

Right now I got the original display in because we had a family get together and wanted to have the pin playable. Something far and few with the surrounding events going on. Now that I think about it, I guess that I should have had the ColorDMD in to do the test. Dang, I should have thought of that. Sorry that I may have wasted everyone time. But I can tell you that testing C31 with the original display, the voltage was 4.86 to 4.98 during wildly flipping flippers and it stayed about the same during muti-ball.

Ill put the ColorDMD in tomorrow to test. Sorry for screwing it up.

I'm going to look the board over and re-pin some connectors as suggested in the last 4 post. Then I'll install the ColorDMD.

I also had a set back when I came home from work. I found the original screen messed up with a bunch of lines going through it. I got a video of it below.

Ok I have a huge problem now. The garbled display has effected the ColorDMD also.

I re-seated the ribbon cables and the display started working correctly.

So, I played about 4 games now and I have had no resets. I guess that pulling the connectors off and on fixed the reset problems. If I understand this right, then I need to put new pins and connectors at these locations. J101, J102, J114 and J210

Voltage at C31 is now 4.99

Thank you for your help and the help that I received from the other folks. Thank you! I will get busy and replace the pins and connectors once the parts come in.

That is interesting as I have been seeing the left flipper losing power lately. I definitely need to take a closer look at that when I change it out.

Didn't know that. Is the flipper EOS the same as older pins? Oh no it's normally open. Is the gap still about 1/8?

I finely got around to replacing the pins and connectors (J114 J101 J102 J210) after the resets started again. Going to see what happens now, but I want to let you know that the F116 fuse also just started blowing. It just started when the resets did. Would this be a new problem or related to the resets?

The 5VDC TP did improved to 5.01VDC

Well the replacement of the pins and connectors did not stop the rebooting. F116 is now blowing. It did sound like a solenoid keep firing. I think that it was the shooter solenoid as there was a ball rolling down the playfield as I walked up. Not sure as the wife just got done playing, to tell me about a weak left flipper problem with the pin. That's when I noticed that the display was off, then rebooted.

Something is odd about this problem, that's for sure.

Yes I did remove them. I will check now to verify that there are correct.

I just checked. They are all installed correctly. I have played a bunch of games this past hour and had not had anymore problems.

No Sir, I have a 3 amp slow blow fuse.

I'm not sure who the manufacturer of the fuse is as I bought them from Marco's. I went through 3 fuses before I used my 3 amp circuit breaker and it has not blown nor has the pin reset yet. Waiting to see what happens next.
