Good pictures. What did you do with the el wires that were plugged into the inverter?

Hi guys,

just made a small report on a Kawai K5 display upgrade, combined with some cleaning I performed earlier this year.
Hope you find it useful!
http://wp.visuanetics.nl/kawai-k5-display-upgrade-cleaning/

I don't have K5 but other synthesizers where I have changed the EL foil.

I can recommend this seller:

http://www.backlight4you.com/

Size is 47 x 157 mm, they offer pink-white, blue-green and soft- 
yellow, price is 20.23 Euro.

Best  brightness and contrast has soft-yellow.

I have no connection with them, just as a very satisfied customer.

Good luck with your repair.

Sometimes blank text can be caused by a dead internal battery

     Hi,I purchased a Telesis backlight and I have had some success with the installation. I am getting a bright display but no text or lettering is being displayed on the LCD. 
I have made sure the connections to the power supply and connections from the backlight have been soldered securely. 
Does anyone have any suggestions about why I am not seeing the text?

Thank you for your help.

If this a repaired display (e.g.- you replaced the backlight but it’s the same LCD module) or is this a new module here are my suggestions.

If you had to remove and solder the existing ribbon cable onto a new display module be sure you soldered it to the correct side of the module’s circuit board.

If you only replaced the backlight then i’d suggest checking the ribbon cable for damage and that it’s seated correctly on the header/connector, it could be off by one row/pin and that would also cause that problem.

If neither of those recommendations solve the problem try to post some photos.

Mark,
I only had to replace the backlight and didn't have to solder the ribbon cable. I will however check that the cable is securely connected. I really want to get this fixed. Truly appreciated. I will check it out.
