Hello, turned on the shadow today, and my DMD has no power at all. I tried changing out some of the fuses, but no luck. The DMD board in the back box looks like it is getting power, the red light is on. Does anyone else have any ideas what I could check next? Thank you.

Use a DMM and test voltages on the connector going to the DMD. Should be:

Pin 1: -125 volts
Pin 2: -113 volts
Pin 3: Key
Pin 4: Ground
Pin 5: Ground
Pin 6: +5 volts
Pin 7: +12 volts
Pin 8: +62 volts

Quoted from butterz:

the red light is on.

That only means you have 5 volts getting to the DMD controller board.

Measure the voltages at the DMD as The_Director states to know if the DMD controller is putting out the voltages that it should be.

Replaced the DMD board with a rottendog board, and now we are back up and running.

Ok, same problem. Dmd was going great then dead tonite. Reset Rubin cables still dead.
Which connector going to which pin? I have a meter...so what to what? I can swap my FT DMD and see what happens. Just hoping I can get this fixed cheap
