Hiya. I just purchased a PDBK632YMCB kit. I cannot get any activity from the display at all. I am not sure if the unit is defective, but here is what I can tell you:
- The display remains completely dark, with and without power. No splash screen, no backlight, no _ cursor, no boxes, nothing.
- Nothing ever displays on the LCD. Ever.
- I am using the components (serial cable and power cable) supplied.
Standard ESD precautions during unpacking and installation were exercised. I was careful to ensure that exposed conductors on the display did not touch the pc's chassis.
Tested unit on multiple PCs, same results.
Is there some way for me to test the display or components on the PCB? Is my unit dead in the water?
