I recently got an Arduino LCD screen. I tried connecting it to the UNO with the 10k potentiometer and all the needed equipment but all I got were white rectangles instead of characters. I have uploaded the hello world code but I saw no changes.

As @Majenko already mentioned, you have to set the right contrast. Use potentiometer to find out what value suits you right.
