That all sounds promising - you definitely need to adjust contrast such that you see the line of black rectangles though.
LCD.write is for individual characters - so I wouldn't really expect you to see much there. LCD.print should work though.
LCD.write
LCD.print
If setting the cursor is working (but not text), I'm really not sure what to suggest - especially if the cursor appears in the right place.
All I could think is maybe you should re-check the wiring of the data pins. It might be they are in the wrong order or one of them isn't connected.
