Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

depends if you are making them or buying them if making you buy a sheet of efiol comes in a suere sheet with multipul cathode and anode terminals get you old display and fit onto the efoil sheet make sure the cathode and anode terminal is in the same place as your terminals on your efoil then draw a permenantmarker fine tip around it 

now cut it 2mm smaller than yours all the way round 

now you need  to buy glue copper terminal strips they are wires that are tinned they look like sperms you need to glue these to the foil cathod and anode terminals using conductive glue 

once this is done then get some laminate plastic sheet and place to sheets 1 either side 

then place in a laminate heat compress like when you do a laminated sign on a4 sheets now heat the laminate sheet  so that it forms around the efoil then cut it to exact size of your efoil then s;lide behid the lcd and drop solder the pins to the solder points dont leave the soldering iron to long onto 

the new terminals as the glue has a melting point to long and the glue will melt and you loose the connection

just drop solder which is get your gun very hot hold over the terninal solder point in a vertical direction  and add solder to gun it will melt and will drop off in a ball which will hit the terminal and solidify

or if you dont want to make your own then just buy 1 that has already been done desolder and resolder same drop solder method 

the making of the efoil is the same for every efoil synth that you own for a large sheet which cost about £80 you can make upto 15 efoils which makes it cheap 

thats what these efoil companies do then sell them for £30-40 upto £60-80 for the large lcd 

so if you put it into perspective a sheet can make you up to £500+ pounds

  I have a number of LCD fitted units - how hard is it actually to fit the lights?

  Wow! That was the best replacement LCD job on a CZ synth that I have ever seen. I need to replace the dimming LCD on my CZ-1. Can you reply to the group with details on how you did this and where you got that LCD?

You can buy backlit LCD displays all day long for 3 bucks on ebay, so I decided replace the dim grey LCD screen in my Casio cz101 with a bright blue backlit one. Simple mod. Huge improvement!
