RuHaSs, thanks man, PM sent.

MPT, try unplugging and plugging in the power, or do like I just did and connect LCD pin 2 to arduino pin 15, instead of directly to the 5v bus, so it can reset the LCD properly. You need the latest code for that (see latest updates a few posts back). The problem, if it is what I think it is, is that the LCD likes to be initialized once and only once after being powered up. Resets and code updates to the duino result in the LCD getting a new set of initialization when the duino reboots, even though the LCD didn't reboot. It isn't a problem if you can power cycle the whole unit but it has been enough of a PITA in development that I finally took a pin for it.
