Hey guys im having the weirdest issue with my Rev 2 of the Image Viewer. I can draw a box and looks good but i cant seem to draw text anymore? It blacks out my screen.

Its basically the same code as version 1 but i moved bit 14 and 15 over so now the lcd bits are P0.0 to P0.13 and last 2 bits are P0.15 to P0.16. To send data i use the same code but now i shift a little:

Code:
#define SHIFTLCD(DATA) ((DATA & 0x3FFF) + ((DATA & 0xC000)<<1));
This shifts the data and returns it. I see this works in debugging also because i can draw a box perfect and init the lcd. But now the string printing blacks out the LCD. I dont know why. I think it may be hardware issue so i took high res pics and here they are:

I think i found a problem heh. I never connected 3.3v to my LCD or Boost . So its being powered from pins. I hope placing a wire from 3.3v to this trace fixes it all heh
