Hi all,

Need some advice from you WPC-95 vets out there.

I have an NBA Fastbreak that has been working flawlessly for me for the last year or so. However, just the other night, DMD is suddenly dead. Anyone have an idea how to properly diagnose this?

Here's what happened....
I hadn't played Fastbreak in about a month, so I fired it up and immediately achieved both multiballs on my first ball. Then, suddenly the flippers die, all but the lower playfield LEDs go black, AND the DMD went blank.

I opened up the head, rebooted the pin, and noticed that the LEDs on the CPU board, never got out of the boot up LED sequence (At power-on, LED201 and LED202 should be ON. LED203 should be OFF). It was just stuck there.

I started reading up some diagnosing steps from the web for the next 10 minutes.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, all of the LEDs on my playfield powered up, I heard the boot up chime, and the LEDs on the CPU board, finally switched to showing a regular play status (LED201 should be OFF. LED202 should be ON. LED203 should be FLASHING.)

I hit the start button, and sure enough suddenly I'm able to start a game.

Only problem, even though everything else seems to be working fine now, the DMD never came back on.

And so here I am, with a DMD that has gone blank.
Any ideas or tips you guys can give me would be totally appreciated.

Thanks in advance, all!

Will do. I'll take a pic and post here tonight. Thanks.
