A common problem is that people can't get their LCD display to work and aren't quite sure where to start.
As I've just been writing some new LCD code I've taken the trouble to knock together a basic fault finding guide. I hope people find it useful.

That's a good start.
Before Steve (Koshchi) gets after you you should change "Display Not Initialized" to Display Not Properly Initialized" (you can leave the 's' in place of the 'z').
As he pointed out a while ago the single line is a result of the LCD controller completing it's "Initializing by Internal Reset Circuit" sequence which sets up the display as a 1-line device.
So the display is initialized, but not correctly since there is some other problem that prevented the program from re-initializing the display correctly.
