Well, you should be able to stumble on a contrast that works, like wyatt mentioned. Just hit left+right then in the setup screen hit middle till you can read it good.

Then feel your way over to the OK "button". If you go all the to the left character, then quickly but carefully hit the left button twice you should be there. quickly as in press and release the button quickly, but wait a 1/2 second before the second press.

Then do that for all the other settings and see if the contrast stays ok at least.


Test continuity between all points. Except for LCD 1,5,16 they should be about 10k or more apart. Send a pic of your ohmeter if you like.
