Casio CZ-101 Display with backlight

It was probably a mod that was done on it - I kept the email from this forum regarding doing the mod as I had probably too high hopes of doing it: It's just a standard 16x2 lcd (HD44780). I bought the cheapest one I could find on ebay. Not sure how much current it draws, but the cz101 seems to be handling it just fine. Most LED backlit LCDs have a fairly low current draw and should work okay. Though, I have heard reports of some oddball displays that draw significantly more current than others, namely ones made by crystalfontz and possibly others that display bright, high contrast colored text on a black background, so it would probably be wise to avoid these these types of displays. If you want to do this mod, you will have to file or cut the screw holes wider on the new lcd board in order to get it to fit on the mounting bracket. I used a dremel tool. Also, it's a pretty tight fit in there (at least it was on the cz101), so watch where you run your wires. The battery compartment leaves very little clearance behind the screen. The LCD board in the cz101 has 14 pins. Most of the backlit screens sold on ebay have 16 pins. The extra 2 pins are for power and ground to the backlight. you simply need to jumper these 2 pins to the existing power and ground pins. On my cz101 the power wire was white and the ground wire is red, and they are either the first or the last 2 pins depending on which direction you are counting from. Aside from the 2 extra pins, all HD44780 LCD display boards should have the same pinout, so as long as you keep the wires in the same order, the worst you can do is hook it up backwards. Here is an HD44780 pinout diagram for reference: http://www.instructables.com/image/FMCPZRTG8LWOHW9/HD44780-pinout.jpg Here is a picture I found on the internet that I used as a reference to make sure I didn't wire it up backwards: http://a3.img.mobypicture.com/57e589270d80ba39b7c00a8db539c8d3_large.jpg Note that this person added a trimmer to adjust the contrast of the screen. I didn't find the trimmer necessary and left it out. There is also this helpful youtube video which shows how to disassemble the cz101 and get to the display board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ZSPSdKhQE Everything else should be pretty straight forward. If you need any help, feel free to post your questions here and I'll try to answer as best I can. ________________________________

Re: [CZsynth] Re: Casio CZ-101 Display with backlight
2011-12-19 by jammie
the problem with these displays is you have to do surgery to the machine in adding 5v for the led display plus the led displays are 7mm thicker which means messing around trying to get it to fit the oled diplays are as thin as the original and dont require any messing about with due to not needing a backlight connection as the lettering is led and is fed by the onboard controller of the lcd and they can be fitted to models that did not have circuitry for el foils like the yamaha dx7

I bought the cheapest one I could find on ebay. Not sure how much current it draws, but the cz101 seems to be handling it just fine. Most LED backlit LCDs have a fairly low current draw and should work okay.
