Hi PinHeads!

I joined here a few years ago when I had TAF and AC/DC as my first two pins....but then had to sell them after 6 months due to circumstances beyond my control :(....but just got DOCTOR WHO (thanks Matt for helping to get it upstairs đź‘Ť)

As a newb, I've replaced from bulbs etc. but noticed that two vertical lines on the DMD on the right hand side are off....but when the 'SECOND CHANCE' graphic flashes...there is a flash of something in those two columns. I'm handy but not an electronics wiz so I pulled out most of the connectors in the backbox going to the DMD and re-seated them but no joy. I even tried applying light pressure on the boards in the hope there was a dry joint or something that might of got connected again (this worked for me years ago when I got hold of Golden Axe for free, 'fixed it' then sold it on eBay).

NOTE: I did accidently apply one of the factory presents when I was learning about the menus etc. maybe there's a config I overwrote?

Any pointers guys?
 
Plenty of second hand fully working ones about with people upgrading to Color DMD.
Should pick one up for ÂŁ70 -ÂŁ100, or go the whole hog and stick a Color DMD in it.
 
I think those pin2dmd ones go for around ÂŁ150 new here. I recall picking a second hand one up for about ÂŁ120.

If you want a genuine colour dmd then Sean at pinball palace is the man to speak to. Personally I’m not a fan of the pin2dmd.

Someone was selling a second hand colour dmd the other day on here. Good price too. Probably gone now but worth an ask.
 
I’d go for a original Color DMD from Pinball Palace, much better than the link you posted.
 
To my knowledge no Dr Who community colouring available for Pin2DMD either.
 
I went with one from Pinball Palace in the end @replicas , thanks. It came all pre-configured and it's beautiful :cool:.

Probably going to eBay the old one, it only has one vertical line (2nd from the right) out, I'm sure someone will want it.
