Ah, yes. I remember. I've not taken it apart, so I could do tests over
here again.

That's bad because I wired my test display exactly as the datasheet from
eservice said. And it works.

Please check whether the device is wired as the datasheet says. Check
the contrast setting on the display. When the display is turned on and
contrast is very high, it should *without the host connected* display
one row of full blocks. That's how the spaces look at high contrast.
Turn constrast down only a bit, then hook it up the host and check
whether something is on the display.
Kind regards
Jan
