Replace your old DMD - Notice any differences ?????

[Marty Machine]

Hi All,
I'm bringing a "South Park" back to life and my main concern was a suspect DMD.

After measuring the supplies & confirming all voltages are correct, i could only assume this DMD was VERY old and 'gassy'.

I installed a new DMD tonight, thought i'd share some before/after pics.


NEW DMD - Game Over...


OLD DMD - Game Over...



NEW DMD - Terence & Phillip - Pull MY Finger....Pffft...Brrrp....Pfft hahaha.


OLD DMD - Terence & Phillip - Barely seen...



Some more OLD dmd bootup pics...



So, if you're noticing Black 'Clouds' in your DMD, time to change it!
(after you've confirmed the voltages are correct, of course).

Enjoy!
MM.

and they back on spec too
