This is the second time I posted this since no one replied the first time.
I'm surprised no one has posted a fix for this since this delay circuit has
been discussed in the past on European imports.
The game is a Road*show imported from Europe. When the game is turned on
there is a 30-40 second delay before the DMD comes up. I can hear a relay
the second the display fires up. I have inspected the game thoroughly and
can't locate anything out of the ordinary in the cab, backbox or under the
PF. I have not inspected the actual DMD board yet and would be surprised if
the DMD has been modified.
If you have encountered/reversed/repaired this situation please let me know
what you did.
Thanks, Martin
Andy

I rip it all out and reconnect the display wires in the head.
Check www.google.com for similar subject. I seem to recall someone
mentioning something about PIC chips and/or game serial numbers and a
work-around that euro operators were doing to make the DMD delay in coming
up so that this information could not be viewed when someone turned on the
machine. Had something to do with certain serial # games being run in
certain areas in Europe and associated restrictions. Most likely this is
what you're running into.

I think you nailed it, Ray! Here's the thread:
Nice work Mr. Memory ;-)

I have not removed the metal box at the front of the game or the box where
the power comes in in the back. But if it was in there then there would have
to be an additional wire in the game but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
