my code is

void receive()
{
int i=0;
char s[10];
STATUS.f5=0;
STATUS.f6=0;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
while(PIR1.f5==0)
{}
s[i]=RCREG;
PIR1.f5=0;
}
init_lcd();
display();
}
void main()
{
STATUS.f6=0;
STATUS.f5=1;
TRISC=0;
PORTC=0;
STATUS.f5=0;
RCSTA=0x90;

OK you're using C language but here we use Melabs PICBasic but anyways, let's try to help you on that.

your problem is with this line

TRISC=0;

Sure if the RX pin is set as an output, it won't work. Just change it and i suspect it will work. but i didn't look the whole thing so i could have miss something.

Good luck!
