Hi LCD-friends,
I have a slight little problem with my glc24064... when I connect it to power and start it, I get the backlight... so everything is ok... but when I connect power AND serial, the PC is going out... what is the problem here? Somebody knows what this is about?
Thanks for your support
cheers
Andreas

Hello...
What type of power cable are you using to power up the display??

I was creating the cable myself... it takes the 5v and the gnd from a PC-floppy-powerconnector... it goes directly into the LCD (I was checking the Voltage: It was 5,01V ;-)
Do I have to set any jumper?
thanks a lot, that you are helping me :-)) this display was not very cheep ;-)

Are you using a "straight through serial cable" or a null modem cable?

as far as I know, it is a serial-extension-cable, what I would call "Straight", is this right?
cheers

To be sure, you can perform a continuity test with a multimeter and pin 1 of the male side will match up with pin 1 of the female side and so on...

I am sure now: It is a straight-serial-extension-cable and no null-modem-cable....
.... you have any more idea what could be wrong? Do you have some kind of support in Germany, I can send it to?
cheers
