Here's a translation between Erik-speak and Andy-speak:

Erik Malund said:
1) "sample code" does not necessarily work, much of it has outright errors.

Andy Neil said:
Maybe the code is faulty, and doesn't work at all?



Erik said:
2) if "sample code" 'works' it, usually, only does so under the exact same conditions as the publisher had.

Andy said:
... maybe the code is not correctly configured for this particular display?


Erik said:
3) The most common resaons that "LCD sample code" does not woprk is oscillator speed and delays in C figured with another compiler - delays in C are, of course, totally wrong in the first place.

Andy said:
... maybe the code is faulty, and only happened to work by pure luck previously?



Erik said:
4) using "sample code" without an inkling of understanding it is sheer folly.

Andy said:
... maybe the code is actually working as designed, but the OP's expectations are incorrect?
