        <title>LCD DISPLAY GARBAGE</title>
        <description> Fellow Reprappers,

Im having issue with my LCD - Reprap Discount Smart Controller, displying garbage and after a single click comes back , this happens every now and then.

Is there a way to fix this permanently.

Any help shall be much appreciated.

            <description><![CDATA[ It also has happened in the past when someone extends the cables beyond their original length.  My 12864 graphical LCD throws garbage at times because the on-board 5V power supply from the Azteeg X5 Mini is a little bit weak, and  I have to run it from USB power to have the GLCD work reliably.....]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I've seen this caused by static discharge.  Try grounding the frame of the printer, and try to touch the grounded frame before adjusting anything with the encoder.<br />
<br />
It could be a cable problem- try swapping the two cables to see if the problem remains, changes, or goes away.]]></description>
