LCD suddenly quit

My HB LCD and Driver were working beautifully for about a week when a little after 7 pm last evening the messages stopped refreshing. I don't have any ideas as to why - no hardware or software issues jump out, and I have several H/T sensors that continue to work well. Repeated efforts to discover the device ( and/or repair the 1wire drivers) have been unsuccessful (using xapmcs1wire). The only possible clue I see in the 1wire log is:

5/11/2010 12:32:10 PM | xapmcs1Wire Sensor 880000000325C929 () com.dalsemi.onewire.OneWireException: Sense Activity was not cleared. at 150 0

This message is being repeated at my "query interval" , but only started approximately 17 hr. after the fact - and after I had attempted the aforementioned troubleshooting. The device is completely absent from xFx Viewer.

I had it locally powered w/ 12V 1A adaptor, the backlight is bright as ever.

Is the driver board "dead"? I'd like to get it fixed or replaced. Though I bought it over two years ago, I truly only placed it in service less than two weeks ago.
 
Thanks for replying Eric.

I did succeed in getting the LCD running again. I deleted the xapmcs1wire.ini file - started the xapmcs1wire configuration from scratch - and the ds2408 popped right up. Appears the config file must have been corrupted. Sometimes I think my computers are full of corrupt little gremlins. ;)

Again, thanks for your time and effort. -- Bob
