Hi Chris,
Thank you for posting on the forum.
Try out
uProject and see if you can communicate and control the display, change the brigthness using the brightness slider.
As per the micro disk, it has a copy of LCDC. If there is no way you can read it, download a new copy from
LCDC. The sticker on the micro disk is important though, that is the license key.
Thanks and Best Regards,
