So if (when you boot into the bootloader):
1. the LED is flashing while you keep the key LEFT pressed
2. there is no short between pin 3 and 1 of the LCD
3. no changes on the LCD whatsoever when you shorten pin 3 to pin 1
4. connections between the board and the LCD are all good
then your LCD is faulty.
