Modding Graphical LCD Order

Any chance of a link to the update for lcdinfo, my display does the same as yours did
thanks

 

Who's did ?? What update are you after ??

Darkside.

 

Yeah sorry I forgot the quote, I meant the problems lil mj was having and the update he got to lcdinfo

 

If you goto LCDstucio webpage, Goto downloads you will see an update for LCDstudio.

Does your LCDstudio startup at all?

 

im starting to get annoyed now
i seem to be the only person who hasnt receaved their screen

 

Incorp yours is being sent out tomorrow morning. I only received ur email on the weekend. Sorry.......... But i did announce a while ago to send me emails about p+p.

 

i gave you £19

 

oh sorry wrong person.

well it's getting sent tomorrow "early morning".

 

I`ve had my screen so long it has dust on it just short of kit to hook it up(I`ve even D/L lcd studio)

 

Well just before this thread dies, I am trying to give it it's last breath
I tell you I am surprised at how much these little screens can actually display, and how much better they are than my previous alpha numeric one, good job visual
anyway onto the pics






Oh one more thing, Acrim I still haven't got my kit, and as you can (hopefully) see I do not need it anymore, so if you don't mind just paypal the money back over my way and we'll call it a day, thanks

 

Mines working, Tho its shifting the whole lcd up about 18 pixels in lcd studio and sometimes half of the display turns off, Any ideas?

 

Has anyone managed to get liquidmp3 working with their display?

All the other software I can find works fine.

 

Help!


Hi guys, wondering if you could offer me some help with my crystalfontz lcd (from this group order). I have wired the whole thing up, double checked the wiring and that none fo the contacts are touching. Also I have the GND pins on the parrallel port linked up, and then soldered to a spare wire in the 15core cable going back to the LCD. This is then soldered to the 100K Pot that was supplied to change the contrast on the GND pin, which was then soldered to the GND pin on the molex.

Same symptoms as acrim, plugged in while pc was off. Turned on pc and initially the backlight comes on in all its glory. Then looks like some interference, and the backlight gets dimmer and flicks between different brightnesses. Then goes really dim, and i touch the chips on the back of the lcd and they are vvery hot, so I imediatly disconnect. I wont dare plug it in again until I have had a decent attempt at troubleshooting it, but I cant think of what I might have done wrong. I can get closeup pics if it will help....

thanks in advance

 

you sure you havent accidently plugged it into the 12v?

 

well the 5v line is in the red molex wire pin, so i preseume thats correct. The GND is connected to the middle black line.

 

Anyone got any tips for getting lcd studio working ? lcd info and liquid are both running like a dream so i guess its wired right but lcd studio just flickers about, tryed all my lpt settings, doesnt seem to make a difference, somethings telling me its to do with the timings ???? and winio ????? but i dont know really, any help most appreciated.

and is there any way of getting these beautys to display a logo on boot? the fuzzy screen dont look nice lol

thanks again
