I got my new 634 today, Insalled it and it worked fine. But when I put the 5 volts to the display. It lights up. but then I just have a blinking cursor. It wont display the messages. The crystalfontz logo show up then I get a blinking cursor.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ken

More Info

As long as I don't put the 5 volt backlight plug in it works fine. But when I plug it in. All I get is the blinking cursor. When I first plug it in I get the Crystalfontz boot screen. Then the blinking cursor. It will freeze the info on the screen when I plug the back light in. This is the serial port model. This thing is cool if I can get it to work 100%. And why does the backlight blink and flicker if I only have the serial cable plugged into it?

Thanks, Ken

Yeh, that all sounds correct.

Itll display the intro screen for a few seconds, and then display the cursor.

Your missing the point. If I plug the backlight in. The 634's display dosent work. The display freezes up and you cant send messages. It only works if I leave the 5 volts off the backlight. But then you cant see it without the backlight.

Did you get the backlight cable from us? If so, which cable are you using?

Did you connect the backlight on your own? If so what connections did you make?

Does the display have a yellow or white backlight?

Its fixed

It was a bad solder job I did. All is well now. Now I have to get the boot screen to work.
