Hi folks, I was thinking of completely replacing the LCD display in my VZ-10M, and I was wondering if you have any advice. The EL-foil backlight has almost completely faded (and I understand that I could just replace the foil), but the response time of the ancient LCD panel is also a bit sluggish, etc. -- and I'm sure things would be greatly improved with a more modern part. In fact, I have already had success upgrading my Kawai K5000W with a fabulous "reverse" white-on-blue LED backlit display. It also suffered from a faded EL-foil. It felt like getting a whole new synth! So... has anyone here already done something like this to their VZ-10M? Or perhaps VZ-1 or FZ-1 (which I believe use the same display)? Most importantly, does anybody know of a compatible part, preferably LED backlit, or using some other (non-EL) light source? Of course, I've tried Googling, but no luck yet. Does anyone have the VZ-10M, VZ-1, or FZ-1 service manual? (I do not.) If so, could you try to find the original part number or other clues for me? I'll be sure to share anything I find out as well. Cheers! - Matt
