<p>Maybe you have some luck in debugging your screen (sometimes with these LCD screens, a contrast adjustment resolves the issue).</p>

Not easily. Some folks have been messing with both 2 and 3 LCDs and based on their posts, the [pinout is different between the two](https://amp.reddit.com/r/ender2/comments/cwxqra/pinout_for_ender2_lcd/).

Ender 2 display pinout from when one [GuzLightyear figured it out](https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/issues/77) for Marlin (MKS MINI 12864 LCD):

From a user called arnd13, the [Ender 3 equivalent](https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/7609/configuring-12864-lcd-on-maestro/7) would be:
