Don think is the problem of LCD. If possible do test it on a working board such as SK40C, don solder it, use header or socket to stack it. I seldom see broken LCD though my friend do get a faulty LCD once, but that might be due to wrong interface he did earlier.

Are you sure there is 5V from voltage regulator, I know you checked it :) Just to makesure again, because this LCD works at 5V, at 3.3V or below it cannot function, tried that before at least we the LCD I have 8-)

Thanks a lot!
I've took out everything and reconnect it on another breadboard.
I can see Cytron Tech PR29 now.

Congratulaions! You finally got it working. That's why using breadboard is not 100% foolproof.

Next you can move on with the FP device and see if it works.

Recheck the LCD connection on the PCB.

I would also like to ask if anyone done this on a breadboard before? Cuz if it really doesn't work in the end. I just have to show some photos when it is working to at least pass my final project.

If it works on the breadboard and doesnt work on the PCB. It could be due to the PCB is not properly made - maybe some traces are missing or shorted. Did you check all the traces with an ohm meter and make sure that they are not open circuit? :roll:

May be the connections to the LCD is wrong or dry joint just as Shahrul said. :roll:

As a beginner, you should document every steps that you have done to rectify the fault. Stating the date and time, what you did, what happens after the action, comments etc in a log book. This will be useful later afterward if you were interrupted with other works. And would also be useful if you wish to post your actions on the forum when you need help.
