2x16 serial lcd problem
Hey, i just recetly purchased a 2x16 parallax serial lcd. It was working fine until last night. I was programming it downstaira on my computer, and got the program running and the display showing everything correctly. But when i turned the board of education off and unpluged everything and went into my room, and plugged everything back in, my lcd was messed. I turned it on and it showed 2 squares that were hardly visible on the left. When I put switch 1 and 2 off, for test mode, the backlight came on and tons of squares were shown. The display still scrolls when supposed too, except instead of text, it's sqaures.
any ideas?
thanks,
Chris.

any other ideas? Is there a way to reset the thing?
But, since then, i had a small problem where i had to constantly reset the dip switches on the back of lcd, for it to display my programmed text. Thens suddenly i get the square problem.
Is it possible the lcd got short circuited when the bs2 got short circuited?
thanks,
chris.

4B: Hold Your breath until You pass out, And Forget the stupid stuff You were doing just previously. Then read up on the BS2

I don't know why my lcd stopped working but has anybody else had that problem where squares appear on the lcd instead of text? Is there any way of repairing it?
thanks,

SEROUT pin, baud, [noparse][[/noparse]$16, $11]
PAUSE 100
This will turn the LCD on [noparse][[/noparse]with no cursor, no blink] and turn the LCD backlight On
The pause is just to give the LCD time to execute the commands before sending data to display.
