CZ-101 LCD display stays on when turned off

2012-09-30 by Jerome St-Pierre

Hi all,

I recently got a CZ-101 for 200 euros from someone who was the first 
owner. Everything was suppose to be work, but of course the line select 
#1 light was dead, the volume slider causes cracking in the sound, it 
sometimes needs to be pushed down to hear something coming out and the 
display still stays on after switching it off.

I don't really mind about the dead line select light and the noisy 
volume slider but I am worried about the LCD that won't shutdown. At 
first, I thought it was normal, before adding 6 D batteries to preserve 
patches as I only had to disconnect the power supply but now I need to 
leave it connected or else it will drain the batteries.

I searched everywhere about this issue, I found other users who had this 
problem but I couldn't find any solution. Does anyone already 
experienced this issue ? Is there any known fix ? If not, do you think 
installing a backlit display could fix this power problem ?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I am really desperate to fix this 
little synth...
