I have put together two core’s and checked the voltage and every thing looks good
I have the bootstrap loader on them (They came as kits)
They are both hooked up to Backlit LCD’s when I power up I get solid black bars
On one row of the LCD and there back light will not come on.
I am pretty sure every thing is put together right.
I tried to download sysex files to the cores one at a time but I seam to not have a connection. (Using Serges software )
I am OK with MIDI and MIDI dumps so I do not think that is the problem.
I understand it can be a number of things that are wrong but
Any idea where to start
Thank You for your help.

Backlight needs seperate power. Look for two additional contacts on the LCD (marked with + and - …sometimes on the opposite side of the data connection).

Do you receive messages on the MIDI IN from the Bootstrap Loader? There should be a message every 2 secconds.
Have you tried it with the description on this site? http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.html (Upload via MidiOX)
