Ok, so : I bought a LCD 2041 (5 V, backlight ) on the site, I made the connexions... but it doesn't work :x ! I have correctly made the diskette alimentation modifications ( 1 red and 1 black wire ), and when I start my computer only the first and the third lines are turning ( and very weakly ) on. No backlight and no startup inscriptions...
Please help me !!!

Chuffin 'eck, a 12 e in me situation, this is serious!

What you describe doesn't sound good, I'll be honest. Two weak bars could be nice on a parallel display if the contrast was set low, but not on a quality display like an MO. The power-on displays used by MO are wide and varied (you cna even customise them on a lot of displays) but none of them are solid bars...

So, the display's getting power... it sounds as if the controller has be damaged at some point though :( Try the MO Alpha software see if you can control the display contrast. Does the backlight ever come on?
