I am not able to send any text to the display. The keypad returns keypresses to my terminal emulator just fine. I have the com settings to 19200 N81 no flow control. The screen did work once on the second PC I tried it on, but stopped just a few minutes after. The display does show the startup screen. I have tried one other cable that is known working, and I still get the keypad information back to my pc, but nothing from the pc to the display. I have tried the display on 6 com ports on 5 different computers.
do a manual over ride on the display (see manual).. then try again with the above settings... sound slike the speed and contrast may have chnaged and saved into memory.
