With a situation like this, it can only be a couple different things...Since you can turn the backlight off/on, adjust the contrast up/down, you can obviously communicate with the module. Basically, what it boils down to is, unless you ship it back to me and I put in on the scope, I really can't ...

So much for the vaunted tech support of MO. Granted, my unit may be 2nd hand goods, but its really disappointing to see that even queries like these dont get any airtime. :roll:

I was planning to simply buy another in the event my unit is really dead, but I think ill take my business elsewhere ...

uh... hellooo?

Yep.

Adjusting the contrast, brightness etc using display tuner all works, just that when I try sending text to the LCD, nothing happens.

Bought mine second hand off one guy who came back to Malaysia from the states. Problem is, on powering it up it doesnt show the MO bootup text. It just shows a blank scren. The backlighting all works though.

LCDC detects the unit fine, and adjusting intensity, lighting etc all show the unit ...
