Re: [emax] Re: LCD replacement from RS

fit a led display as it will blow if you connected it to the ac supply

also as i said you need to disconent pin 3 by cutting the trac and connecting a pot between vcc and ground and the wiper to pin 3 as they use a positive angle where as the old used negitiv voltage for the angle 

you must read the pdf of the manufacturers data which explains this 

if you live in the uk you can send it to me and i will fix it for you 
if you live in the state ted will be happy to fix it for you as he has replaced the screen also and did it how i explained as he also had a none showing screen

  Great... my emax doesn't work anymore after trying this replacement screen. It will turn on, the screen turns on but it doesn't display characters and the function buttons are unresponsive. WTF!!

  Everything seems to be connected correctly so I don't know what the problem is. I'm going to part it out I guess. FUCK!!!!!!!

I see the ground and +5 on the Emax LED board but the spacing on the new display seems a bit wider than the original. Do I have to solder the pins on the new display and bend them to fit the Emax board?
