It's only humming because it doesn't know the words.

Is the DMD a Cherry-branded one, by any chance?

If you turn off the game, completely disconnect the DMD, and then turn the game back on, is the hum gone?

Quoted from Robl45:

I just checked the boards and they are tight, still humming away. Unfortunately check the grounds doesn't mean much to me, thats why I"m posting here, need more of a step by step of what to check.

"Check the grounds" means check all the ground connections. Each board has at least one ground connection. Sometimes a break is caused by a cold solder joint, a bad crimp on a pin, a broken wire, dirty pins/connectors, etc.

Use a multimeter in diode test mode to check for continuity.

I didn't see grounds to the boards,

You would have to look at the schematics. They are wires in the connectors.
