Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi there 
I shall answer as its our issue and fweakboy is not here at the moment 
Yes  we do know the front panel has a noob to increase contrast but 
this has nothing to do with the backlight as such.
The problem is very simple and one can take the Sampler out of the loop 
because i bought an inverter and a backlight foil
So when i feed 5 v in Nothing comes out the opther side 
No also no AC current I measured 
I doubt very much the inverter I bought is shot 
the same is also for the inverter in the s1000
It takes 5 v in nothing comes out ..
Thats why i thought to buy a new one 
Now i think its not  the inverter at all ?
