-- If the address is right but you still can not see letters displayed:
+- If the LCD address (eg. 0x27) is right but you still can not see letters displayed:
   - try to adjust contrast by the screw on the back of the LCD Hardware (I2C Modul)
   - be shure to provide the LCD hardware with the right ammount of voltage (mostly 5V or 3.3V)
   - use a strong powersuppy. If you notice LCD fading a bit there is a lack of current.
   - use proper connections. Soldering the wires is best for connection. Bad connection can also result in fading the LCD.
 
 
 ## Known Problems
-The LCD hardware does not like temperature below 0°C (32°F). It becomes slow and can be damaged like brightness is no more homogen throughout the hole LCD area.
