Does this display have that driver?</p>

Unfortunately, when I follow the tutorial and connect it to the Arduino, I can't see any letter. The only thing visible on the LCD is a set of vertical blinking lines columns 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 on both rows. Did I burned out the LCD add on? What I'm doing wrong. I double checked the connections (with wires) at least 4-5 times.</p>

I just ordered my kit, and would rather not have waited on a second order for a soldering kit before I got to play with this, so you may want to give some of us noobs a heads up. =)</p>

I guess it described how to assemble or solder it. Can we get that back? I could use it since I'm new to this!</p>
