I think you should see the practice section above, just to figure out how to make one using a breadboard.
T41 works very well with SIPROG also.

If you really need a ready made one, contact us by email, but I strongly suggest you to build your own, is not too hard.

Do you know somebody, a friend perhaps, who can do it.
Because if you don't have some basic knowledge then it's very easy to screw it up.

Email us to see if we can still help you, maybe is not too late.

Maybe you made a short circuit there and fried a fuse (common to the LCD inverter Vcc).

The LCD's inverter is not powered/damaged, this job needs a service engineer.
