I have a STNG game and my display is having an odd issue. It works fine when entering the settings menu, it tests out fine in the system test.
However, when i move to play the game, the display goes blank. if i move back to the settings menu, the display comes back.
I tested the pins on the Display and all the voltages appeared to be correct.
Once in a while it will work, but then freezes
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?Can you run the display tests in the Diagnostics menu? This covers the various image "pages" that the DMD controller uses to generate the
screen displays.
I suspect that one or more pages is missing...in which case I'd try a
new 6264 RAM and, if not fixed, then either poke with a logic probe, or
find someone to fix it or replace it.
