Thanks!!!

That did it...luckily i had lcdc installed. Whats the other program that you would suggest for programming the startup screen (The Matrix Orbital Test Program?)

BTW, that test program is great

How do I change the screen that appears when the display is first powered up?

FYI: I have a VK202-25 VFD display connected via com1 running lcdc on a windows xp pro machine.

Thanks Miles,

You may have just saved my display!!!

Believe it or not, the display still turns on...but the burnt part sparks a little. Oh well...i still have to get it fixed.

Here's a picture

I reversed the polarity on my VK202-25 VFD Display, and a component on the back blew up. Its yellow, and is in-line with the power connector, on the upper edge of the circuit board. Any idea what it is? Is it fixable? If so, how?

I miss my display, it was part of a VCR computer mod.

Thanks,
Sam
