This is a common problem. I found that this game and some others have a small board hot glued to the ribbon cable or dmd ribbon header.

 

It may be on the CPU end or the DMD end. Unplug it (you may need a knife for the glue so be careful when you cut it away) and reconnect just the ribbon cable. It should now work.

 

Also make sure to update your game code, your pin2dmd firmware and reset the Pin2dmd settings and set up again if you still have issues.

 

Good luck!

No, onlyif the PC is installed and I think that PCB was a fix for certain LED DMDs installed.

Maybe you can add a picture of the PCB you removed .
