Hi,
Im not sure if my LCD is working or not, all the blocks are solid black ?
Its connected up in 4bit mode, with the contrast and backlight connected, but doesn't display any text just solid blocks
An I missing something ?

How is your LCD wired? Are you using a potentiometer? Did you try adjusting it for contrast?

Yes, when an LCD normally powers up should all the blocks be turned on or off ?
If you turn the contrast up all the way will the blocks go black ?

Yes, they can appear to be all all (dark), depending on your contrast (set by potentiometer) and your viewing angle.
Check that you are wired correctly, that you are addressing the correct pins, check your code, etc... Restart your Netduino
