To be honest I think your controller is dead. You should have one row of blocks and one empty row when you apply power to the LCD; this shows that the HD44780 has initialised correctly. If you don't get this, there's something odd going on. If you disconnect the data plug and cycle the power, does it still come up with the same thing?

nope, this is not the case, if i just give the lcd power, nothing appears on my screen.
i have this win test program for my lcd, from CF, and if i hit enter, i see al those strange sings moving verry fast.
i have also a bleu resistor pot, if i tutn it till almost the ens i have the left part of the screen, if i turn the pot metre a little bit ferther, like 0.1 MM the screen shanges from the left to the right :confused: :( weird!
so, what is the controler chip annyway?
