If it ain't broke, I'll fix it!

I thought it'd take one or two hours top, which might have happened if not for a) a solder bridge between two I/O pins b) underdocumented contrast pin (no, you can't pull it to 0V) c) HD44780 clones being a buggy hellscape d) signal integrity and HD44780's poor noise immunity
It works on some units, on others it's way too dark to be usable. I learned this the hard way a long time ago... started putting in a pot or at least a resistor divider.
Oh ffs now this reminded me of that time I plugged one into a Wii (on the debug GPIOs) for debugging BootMii during early boot because nothing else worked, and half of the shitty scene sites started saying BootMii was a hardware modchip.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oAQ9i4FMeg …
Fun fact: BootMii shipped with that code enabled for several versions (in delay-timed mode, output only, doesn't care if no LCD is attached). I never documented the pinout and I don't think anyone but me ever actually hooked an LCD up, but it had pretty status messages.
