i'm having an issue with my new starship troopers DMD...it's random and seems to resolve itself by cutting the pin off and back on after a few minutes.

if i linked these vids correctly, the first one shows what typically happens at first. it will sort of fade in and out, get all wavy, and then go back to normal...you can can see it "flicker" right at the end of the video. after a while of doing this, it will eventually get to where it is in the second vid: a whole lot of nothing except for a few squiggily lines near the bottom. after a while of doing that, it goes totally dark.

i have attempted to re-seat the ribbon cable on both ends, figuring it may have come loose during transport. when i did that, i noticed that the ribbon cable to the DMD was pinched the last time somebody closed the backbox...it was pinched so hard it was folded in half.

do i just have a short in my ribbon cable? or is there a bigger problem going on here?


thanks fellas.

REPLACE the ribbon cable

just to confirm this, use the ribbon cable from southpark, if it works fine you know what to do
