Ok i got a 5" lcd from parts express and all the adjustable pots work, except for one. This POT is the contrast, doh! and it seems the lcd is too bright when viewed straight on, but 10 degrees to the bottom its great. Any ideas? when I turn the POT nothing happens but all the other ones make changes. Lcd here Spec sheet here (PDF) TIA Phire
