Bought LCD, no backlight?!

knut_ny:
you may find connectors for a led on the right hand side (ref.picture)

I hooked up those pins to 5v and ground. The data sheet said that those pins where for the backlight. But I bought a module with no backlight on it (I never knew of such thing)

I just have to pay closer attention next time I purchase something.. :cold_sweat:
