Did you make sure to change the Mount in colordmd settings to WS.
Hmm have you tried the original dmd to make sure it functions as normal?

Quoted from jackd104:Here's a video of the behavior I am seeing now (original DMD is temporarily hooked up).

For the life of me, the only thing I can think of is the display controller board or CPU board is borked somehow.
I was gonna say, sounds like a display controller thing….
How do the capacitors look?
Are the chips pressed down all the way?
The colordmd “rom” flash is version 4.1
Via pics the rom on the display board it is v5.0
This is localized to the cpu/display board if his dmd and colordmd both display the issue. Maybe a ribbon cable is funky? Any sharp creases in the cables?
Quoted from jackd104:Ok tried that and when I plug power back into the board, the text displaying the display rom version appears again for a few seconds then dmd goes blank again.
You’re not in MN or WI are you?
I mean I hate having a game down, but if you reached out to a board person, Clive at coin op cauldron or Chris Hiblar, someone thag does board work. They may have an idea and can repair for you. May have to send the dmd controller and cpu board off.
Any used game I get, I usually send all the boards off as preventative maintenance.

Quoted from jackd104:Here’s the solution. The problem was a bad U201 on the CPU/Sound Board which is the interface for the plasma controller. So it really was the exact same problem as that old post I linked. This info comes from Chris Hibler who repaired the board. So, somehow it got damaged during the install which I am not sure exactly how. Thank you again northvibe and Mattyk for troubleshooting w/me.
Thank you for posting the fix!
