Thanks Martino,

I gave it a try, no luck.

I get no response from the board at all.
I even put an RS232 analyser in line with the board and there is no data activity on the RX side.

I am assuming the board is dead. :(

I have just ordered an S-Series X-Board to replace it.

Thanks anyway for ...

I have a VFD2041 that has been in storage for a little while, and now i cant get it to communicate with any PC.
Using Uproject it will open to comm port but no data will flow.

I have tested the serial port and i works fine, I have 5v at the board.
I have tried using the manual override jumper also ...
