Backlight only illuminating the middle of the lcd

Backlight only illuminating the middle of the lcd

2012-04-15 by steveporter258

Hi,I have recently got hold of  K5 keyboard version and the backlight is only illuminating part of the LCD.It is about three quarters of an inch thick and runs the length of the lcd.The outer parts of the lcd are not illuminated.
Is the backlot shot or is it the converter?I cannot hear any high pitched whine that people mention.
Some of my buttons are not working-I suspect they need cleaning.
K5=awesome synth.I love it.In this world of analogue madness the K5 is like a breath of fresh air.
Thanks,
Steve

when i changed mine there was a slither of green light in the middle of the lcd and the longer i left it on it would shrink and then the coil step up transformer whould make a high pitched whine
