Re: [emax] Replacement LCD

2008-02-11 by Roland S-50

Hi Alan,

I was thinking of using and LED backlight too, but it looked like the LCD
assembly would be too thick (around 12mm as opposed to 8mm(?) for the EL
backlight-type LCD...

If it does fit in place okay please let me know.

Cheers,

Mike.
