solved: ERROR: no matching function for call to 'LiquidCrystal_I2C::begin()'

void begin(uint8_t cols, uint8_t rows, uint8_t charsize = LCD_5x8DOTS );

As I expected, that library's begin() requires parameters. In fact none of its examples even use begin(). As I said, there are multiple libraries of this name so likely you are looking at examples written for a different library.
