If your inquiring about the backlighted LCD panel, they are available on EBAY. I got one and they work very well. Just search Akai backlight in the musical instrument heading. There were one or two vendors selling them. Hope that helps

Hello:
I wonder if someone can point me to a place to buy a backlight inverter
for my Akai S1000?
