If the text still won't display, adjust the contrast pot.  The contrast pot can be found on the bottom, use a screwdriver to adjust it.

The final option is to download the hd44780 library.  Open and run the example located under ioClass -> hd44780_I2Cexp -> I2CexpDiag.  This sketch should identify what is wrong with the LCD display.
