Quoted from Lermods:Installed my color dmd today
How long did it take to arrive?
I ordered mine. I am looking forward to getting my MSF back up and running.

I installed my Pin2DMD-XL in my MSF about 1.5 years ago. In the past 8 months I’ve started having problems. The display would reset and show the Frankenstein title screen in the middle of a game, but then start showing animations again. So for the longest time, I didn’t worry too much. But recently, more often, the display would go dark and not come back. I could get the display to come back by disconnecting/reconnecting power to the controller board (not the external power). Now, most times when I power on the machine, the DMD stays on the title screen. I have to take off the backglass, disconnect/reconnect power to the controller board.
Has anybody else experienced this, or anything similar?

Quoted from lucky1:Sounds like you could have a issue with your power supply or your Sega DMD Controller. How do you power the panel?
I had the same in my Batman Forever and needed to swap the Sega DMD Controller in the end. Maybe also this helps

You can see that it is most likely not a issue with pin2dmd by the fact that it is showing the Frankenstein Title Screen which means
that the pinball electronics is resetting.
Thanks for the help.
The Bulletin talks about how sensitive the DMD controller is to 5v. My machine was either a late manufacture, or somebody applied the bulletin to my machine before I got it. I measure the 5v and it was 5.01v. So it was fine.
The DMD is working fine now. I think it was literally a matter of reseating the connector at the power supply.
