I received some LCD displays from Satistronics today. The backlight does not appear to be working on any of them. I need to do some more investigation and I've emailed them to advise of the problem and to seek advice.

They appear to be identical to a number of display's I already had which don't have that problem (using the same dew controller and Serial LCD backpack).

I'd suggest anyone thinking of ordering them hold off until I see what their response is.

I also got some headers and pin strips from them which I use to connect the LCD, arduino and serial LCD driver to the board and they are excellent value compared to what I pay locally.

• AU$32.32
• 1 of. FEMALE HEADER PITCH 2.54mm V/T TYPE 1x40 80pcs/panel AU$8.83 (not available at Jaycar but from recollection generally about $2 each from Prime)
• 1 of. PIN HEADER PITCH 2.54mm V/T TYPE 1x40 200pcs/bag AU$12.47(75c each from Jaycar for larger numbers or 95c each buying them individually)

It should be a long time before I have to buy either again.
