 		 #136910 - need lcd testing procedure
Responding to: ???'s previous message
i have bought a jhd162a lcd. I have written an initializing program for the lcd. When i connect it only the backlight is glowing. Is there a way of testing if the lcd is working?
I tried the procedure given in the forem
http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=92858
i connected pin1(Vss) to gnd, pin2(Vcc) to +5v and and pin3(Vee) to gnd through a 1k resistor but nothing is glowing not even the backlight. when i connect pin15(led+) to +5v and pin16(led-) to gnd i get only the backlight glowing.
The datasheet is not complete it requires some chinese characters and nothing is present after a few pages.
please, i need some help in checking if my lcd is working.
thank you
jayanth

      Is there any test procedure to test LCD Module?            01/01/70 00:00      
         from the shop            01/01/70 00:00      
   did you try...            01/01/70 00:00

                           no datasheet            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Should work the same...            01/01/70 00:00

      May be LCD is damaged!!            01/01/70 00:00      
         Pin 3 may require a negative voltage            01/01/70 00:00      
            PLEASE!!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
               There is a "convention"            01/01/70 00:00      
            to clarify?            01/01/70 00:00      
         two problems with the 'advice' you followed            01/01/70 00:00      
            Only lower line of LCD is showing!            01/01/70 00:00      
               looks like pretty normal behavior to me ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  'cheap' -5 for a LCD            01/01/70 00:00      
   where is that standard?            01/01/70 00:00      
      It's not an EIA or a DIN standard ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         you said exactly that            01/01/70 00:00      
            We've all told him to read his LCD datasheet            01/01/70 00:00      
               this is getting ridiculous.            01/01/70 00:00      
                  ok, I deserve -1 from before            01/01/70 00:00      
                     why not spell it correctly            01/01/70 00:00      
                  That's why there are datasheets            01/01/70 00:00      
   LCD is workingggg!!!!!!            01/01/70 00:00      
      Now get to work            01/01/70 00:00      
         MISTAKES made            01/01/70 00:00      
   Datasheet, which created a problem.            01/01/70 00:00      
   Can LCD datasheet be uploaded for others referen.?            01/01/70 00:00      
      You have to get the correct datasheet            01/01/70 00:00

            You need more data!            01/01/70 00:00

                              your code has a problem?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 looks like experimenting again ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 from hitachi data sheet on HD44780            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    I'm starting to hate these datasheets            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       BULL            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          get it RIGHT before you deviate from spec's            01/01/70 00:00

   about P0            01/01/70 00:00      
      It shows that you "experiment" instead of reading            01/01/70 00:00
