Microtivity IM161 LCD Not Working?

Other Hardware Displays

I ordered a Microtivity IM161 LCD off of Amazon and am trying to get it to work for the first time. I have it wired up based on the LiquidCrystal "Hello World" tutorial, but all I'm getting is a top row of dim boxes.

I have all of the connections wired up properly, and I even bought a 10k pot to make sure that value was correct.

Here's my setup and the boxes that I'm talking about.

Microtivity's support page (microtivity: Support) shows a connection diagram, but I'm not quite sure how to read it properly. Do any of you see anything that I'm doing blatantly wrong?

I see only nine wires connected to your LCD whereas you need at least ten. It looks like your 'Enable' line on LCD pin 6 is missing.

Oh gosh, I'm an idiot. That's what I get for doing most of this at 1 a.m. during exam week. Thanks!
