Have I got the right LCD's?

[Benedict]

Hello,

I bought 3 40x2 LCD on ebay for not very much money but I don't know if they're the right ones. As far as I can tell they are the TM402C on from here:

Are they any good for use with a SID? If not I'll just have to sell them!

Cheers

i think yours probably fall into this category.  please spare yourself a MAJOR headache and do the negative voltage fix.  it worked for me

Yes, looks like it needs a negative (Contrast)/LCD drive voltage..
