MX212 Questions about Power & Boot screen

Post by DeNs »

Heeelo,

Just pondering a few things about my LCD. Firstly, do you have to use a modified floppy drive connector to use the Auxiliary power?

And also a few Questions about the Custom boot screen. Do i have to have the Auxiliary power in if i want to use it? Ive looked in LCDC for the port and its on COM6, i used that in the program and wrote it to the display, but it didnt come up after the next reboot.

I usually unplug my comp from the wall completely after use, so does it still need some power to keep the LCD's memory for the bootup screen to function?

Cheers,
DeNs

The USB power should be fine - Does LCDC save it correctly? I just tested on my MX2 screen and it worked fine. Oh and the screen won't change unless it powers off, a reboot does not cut the power to the USB as far as I can tell.
