Backlight illumination on system boot?
Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 8:35 am
Hello,
My company has a platform that utilizes a Matrix Orbital LCD display model LK202-24-USB. We have an issue with the mainboard on this platform that causes the system to halt if the user presses the power button too many times- which the end user perceives as a broken box. I have addressed this issue to the best of my abilities and I am still having an issue in the field. Other than the standard pc LEDs to indicate power the only feedback the end user receives is the Matrix display.
I cannot use the berg(floppy) power connection which would get me what i need- because of some certification issues. I can only power the display using the onboard USB header.
So to my question is there a way to force this display's backlight to illuminate on boot instead of waiting for the OS to begin booting? I believe this immediate visual feedback may curb some of the nervous finger problems that are causing the mainboard issue. This is an ongoing issue and I would really appreciate any info I can get.
