    I have been doing multiple upgrades to my printer and one of the upgrades is a new LCD monitor that came with a bundle i bought which consisted of a ramps 1.4 board and the monitor. I plugged it in and i turned my printer on and all it shows is a blank screen. Is it the screen or firmware? help

    Try flipping the cords they may be on the wrong plugs.

    Quite often the CONTRAST ADJUSTMENT rheostat is cranked full on or full off from the factory as well so make sure you adjust that

    Can't say, don't know which one you have

    Some don't even have the contrast adjustment, but if it does check that it is not full stop either direction.
