    I have a question I just wired up and got working my lcd. Now ever scince I wired it up I have been getting some of the worst wireless connection on my comp. I had to build a whole new antenna and it still is having a hard time. Do lcd emite a lot of EMI. Or I was also thinking it was my parallel port that could be emiting it because it isnt just when my lcd is on, it happens when the lcd program I use is on. I think it is my printer port because my sheliding didn't fit around it so I just left it bare nothing covering my connections, And the printer port is right beside my old antenna. So is it the lcd or parallel port or something elts.

    p.s. My lcd connections are not sheilded either.

    Rewire it properly then with a closed connector housing. Also did you ground pin 18>25 on that connector?

    No I have never grounded those pins, why. And would just wrapping a couple wraps of tape around it work.

    EDIT: Also a long time ago I took off the plastic covering the wire not just the small wire casing I mean the whole antenna cassing, is that ment to get rid of noise and should I stick that back on.
