Coding limitations of a Parallax LCD vs a regular generic LCD ?

i've parallax 2x16 serial lcd, backlit speaker.
datasheet: http://learn.parallax.com/kickstart/27977

i'm finding lcd coded differently started with; regular 16 x 2 lcd, simple pinout. feel new lcd going have steep learning curve want achieve arduino.


can not take speaker off, remove solder , use lcd original 1 had (that no longer functional)?

or there way of keeping intact still able use arduino's sketches?

have tried sample code shown @ site linked?  it looks pretty straightforward me.

it lot easier buy generic display if want use 'arduino sketches'.

how did original display become non-functional, pretty hard destroy?
