Purple, should be some kind of green/blueish, I guess someone changed 
backlight, maybe this wasn't done that properly, opening and 
repositioning the LCD part on the contacts might help a bit...

The display I guess, not the output?

The VZ-1 has a little MIDI on and off switch on the back side of the 
synth, I guess the VZ-10M is having one as well. Also initialising 
the Synth might help, if I remember right it's pressing the 
initialise button while turning the synth on and pressing Yes 
afterwards should do it...


Well, good luck!
