if i put a switch in the serial 632 power line, for manual power on/off, would their be damage to the unit? when it was switched back on would it begin at normal display?
thanks:)

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem at all, since a manual switch is no different than turning your power supply on and off if you were to supply 5v to VLCD and VLED simultaneously. I don't forsee a problem with connecting a manual switch, but don't really see a reason to do so unless you're switching the power for the backlight and logic at the same time.

If your using CrystalControl it will show the text as it should, but the contrast and brightness of the LCD will be the power-on defaults.
