Just thought I'd post up to say that my LCD died...
I'll look into the situation tomorrow, luckily I just recived a new freeduino and LCD (to make a second
MPGuino) in the mail, so I have another LCD to mess with.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting the LCD? I think it's just the LCD because the 'duino's LED's blink normally when powered up, but the display is blank with the backlight off.
