I recently bought a 2x16 LCD display by lumex. It is your standard 14 pin LCD display. I connected 5V to Vdd (Pin 1), GND to Vss (Pin 2), and GND to Vo(Pin 3). Vo is the contrast adjust on the LCD. When all three of those pins were connected, only the bottom row on the LCD display became visible. Did I do something wrong with the hook-up, or is this a bad display?
I've been very careful with this display, using a grounded pad and grounding myself everytime before I touched it. Do you think this problem may be caused by static damage?
