Emax

Hi!

I'm new to the group and new to using Emax. =)

I received an faulty Emax 1 rack from a friend for about a month ago. It was shown (with Jammies help here on the forum) that the Echip possibly is dead, but there is a chance that a calibration can solve the problem!?

I do not like to wait so I bought an Emax 1 SE keyboard a week ago. It was, according to the seller fully functional but has been damaged in transit.

The damages are:  
1) The display is dead. In the ad for the emax keyboard the seller described that E-mu factory had repaired the display which generated a noise (Inverter replacement?)
From what I recall, Ted Summers said something about when the display is dead the Emax won't start. Maybe it's the LE Foil that's not working? But shouldn't one be able to read any characters then? The Emax rack's display is working. Well, the characters are shown but with no background light. 
I rather switch to a VFD but it seems to be a little work with that. Is there a replacement display to get somewhere? I don't wanna solder too much.  

2) The keys Ab (third octave) to Db (5:th octave) generates no sound. However, it works to connect a MIDI keyboard to it and trigger all the notes. A funny thing is that on some sounds (loaded from disk), the D and Eb (5:th octave) generate sound but the voices "hangs" In most other sound banks they're dead as the other ones. It seems that only sounds with long decay, sustain and/or release are generated from the 5:th octave D and Eb. 
E, F, G #, G (5:th octave) do not work but the last A, A #, B is working. 

Any ideas?
