I bought a Nokia 6100 LCD + breakout board recently (Feb 2010), and the only thing that is working so far is the backlight. I've tried sending it variations of commands from LCD drivers all over the internet, from the examples here, to James Lynch's tutorial code, and none of it works. There is no indication from the LCD panel that it is receiving any commands.
At first I thought that I might be setting up the SPI port incorrectly, or have something hooked up wrong (I don't have an oscilloscope or logic analyser to check things with), but I've double checked everything multiple times. Then I noticed that I'm not the only one with this problem; see the comments for the Nokia LCD product entry (scroll down to a comment by

This suggests that recent LCD panels are different from previous ones in some way, or they might be defective.
Hans anyone managed to get a recent Nokia knockoff LCD panel working? If so, what did you do?
Any other suggestions would be welcome.

EDIT: Not that it should make a difference, but I'm using it with an Olimex Sam7S256 dev. board.
