I have had a Williams Getaway High Speed 2 for about 10 years.
The DMD was not working when I purchased it.
This week I decided to try and get it up and running. Previous research led me to believe that my non-working DMD issue was cause by a burnt out WPC-089 DMD Controller board.
Well, I installed the new board and still no picture or any activity on the original Williams DMD. I've double checked and reseated every ribbon cable and connector to all the boards in the pin head....
I acquired a working DMD display that I was told was a compatible replacement for the original. It's a Dale Electronics- VISHAY- Plasma - apd-128g032
I decided to see if that worked with the new board. This time there was some activity.
With both the power connector and the ribbon cable connected to the controller board and the display there is still no picture. But, if I remove the ribbon cable from the display I do get some random leds to light up.
I would like to try is to replace that 14 pin ribbon cable to see if anything happens but I don't have one at the moment and would need to order it.
Please watch this video of this. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening please let me know.

Thanks everybody!
