Upon powering up, the display on the S1000 blinks solid gray for a second then returns to the all-blue colour it has when it's off. I was under the impression if this was a backlight issue I'd still be able to see text on the display albeit unlit and vague - but I'm not certain, that was just an assumption. Is it really the backlight that's the problem, or is there a bigger display problem I have to deal with here? The rest of the sampler seems to be functioning alright - an operating system disk makes various loading noises and seems to work fine - except since I haven't actually USED the thing and can't see anything on the display I have no further means of testing the rest of it... any help would be greatly appreciated cos I'm psyched to eventually be able to use this.

Have you tried to adjust the display with the
contrast button? If so and it all grey you may want to pop the hood and check
connections, you may have a bad inverter. Someone else here may know this better
then me but I was told you can adjust the power on the inverter board if the
display starts to appear faded.
