White LCD screen

I have two reef angel plus that I've been using as development platform, since I didn't have any reef thank at that moment.
I've been using them mostly for the I2C bus and the eeprom.

I'm just starting a new thank (Youpi!!) but I have a problem. Both controllers programs fine, but both screens remain white. Is the something special to be done to reinitialize the boards?
I did run the InitialInternalMemory sketch to reinitialize everything.

By the way, both are GEN1 screen. (with the black connector)

Thank you!
Bou

Add this right above ReefAngel.Init() for gen1 screens.

Code: Select all

  InternalMemory.LCDID_write(255);

I tried it and it still doesn't work, the screen stay white.
Could it be something else I need to initialize in memory?

Thank you

That's the only one that would affect the screen. 255 is for gen1/gen2 and 0 is for gen 3.
Were they working when you purchased?

Yes, they were working.
I guess I will order a new display then.

Thank you again!
