Once again I will recommend that you disconnect all of your wires and start again and carefully follow the tutorial at Arduino Tutorial - connecting a parallel LCD.
okey i read that, disconnected everything and when i connect pin15 to 5v (through 220 ohm) and 16 to ground it basicly does nothing, there is no light in there.
the tutorial u send me wich shows an lcd under same connections wich does light up..
does this mean i will have to contact my seller because of a defect? or did i burned it myself?
