i'm using my lcd 4 months now, without any problems, untill next week, lcdc gave me these errors and closes. It doesn't help with reinstalling the software and/or drivers. i'm using an floppy cable for external power, so my lcd switches on when i'm starting my computer. Since lcdc is doing strange, the lcd backlight doesn't power up anymore with my computer.
Errors:
Thx 4 any help

Have you installed any new hardware on your computer? In windows control panel / system /devices are there any "!" warnings? Have you tried reinstalling USB drivers? Boot up in safe mode and look at USB devices in the control panel / system settings. You might be surprised at what you see. I had MANY UNUSED USB devices listed. I deleted them and allowed windows to boot up normally. After it reinstalled the USB drivers all worked OK. May be worth taking a look at.
This sounds like a very ineresting problem...would you be willing to set up an RMA and have it shipped back to us were we can perform some tests on our test bench...?

I'm seeing the same problem; however, I suspect that it was due to a confilict with the motherboard monitoring.
It is a long way around to how I got to that conclusion, so please bear with me.
I've had my Matrix Orbital unit for less than a week, and I'm having a blast playing around with it. One of the things that I unsuccessfully tired to do was to watch my e-mail.
That was a disaster. I ended up unable to read the e-mail from my login acount, and I started seeing crashes. At first I attributed them to my e-mail efforts.
So I turned of the e-mail monitoring. All well and good, by my LCD display was still shutting down, seemingly at random.
So I went into LCDC and looked further at the plugins page. All sorts of hardware monitoring was enabled. I turned it all off, especially since I wasn't using any of it. Then for good measure, I turned off the One Wire devices and unplugged them.
Since then, my LCD hasn't crashed.
As with everything, tackle the problem by getting rid of everything, and make a very simple setup. Then start adding back components till the system breaks again.
My day today? Nothing major, just Xenon base gone, Scorpio gone,
Tarrant dead, Tarrant alive and then I found out Blake sold us out.
This is a very interesting and systematic approach! Thanks for the suggestion! If we can decipher what is causing the conflict, the easier it is for us to fix!!
