I swear I don't know how this happened, but today one of those "bubble" ICs on my HD44780 LCD quite literally "popped" and filled my room with the foul smell of burnt semiconductor. Now my LCD module is rendered to be pretty much useless. How could this have happened? It was connected to my parallel port, happily displaying stuff and this incident happened spontaneously. I did nothing... -- solarwind -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
