White screen after installing on 2nd gen iPod

<< < (2/2)

okplayer:
Thanks a lot Torne and Yapper.

Torne your contrast range was very helpful and after I used a value of 10, I could see the screen well. I've been using the scale incorrectly as I was always using high numbers (originally started at 63 as suggested in the previous thread).

Well I'm a happy camper now and can now use this IPOD to listen to some FLAC files.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks again.

torne:
Ah good, glad we could help.

Unfortunately the old mono ipods have a range of different LCD types in them, which behave the same with respect to how you use them (so they are all supported) but have wildly different brightness/contrast properties, so our default settings for each model work on the players that developers have access to, but not on all players of those models. The Apple firmware has some way of detecting which kind of LCD it is and using appropriate values for that specific LCD, but we don't have code to do that.

yapper:
What happens if you increase the setting above 10? Does the display get darker or lighter? On my 2G it gets darker as the value increases (and mine is set to around 45 for a 'good' contrast).
