K5synth

Fortunately for K5 users, the new backlight I installed in my 
Kurzweil K2000 is designed for 9V battery that is stepped up to 120V 
400hz!  Meaning it will work for both the K5 and the K2000.  I know 
this is a K5 users group, but I am so excited about this cheap and 
easy alternative for my K2000 that I MUST try it on the K5.  (My 
Kawai K5000 backlight still works great.)  I am interested to see if 
you guys think it will be as easy to install on the K5 as it was on 
my Kurzweil.  The company I purchased this backlight from is found at 
WWW.nightlaunch.com   I used Pay Pal. Cool...  I will post the 
pictures under the picture section.

The nightlaunch site says the strips are 16 inches long.  Did you just
cut it to size?

Yes, you can cut it in both the X and the Y direction on one side of 
the strip.  I still have not opened my K5m to see if I can slide a 
new backlight in easily.

It's easy to slide, but you'll still need to take the LCD screen apart 
to remove the old one and put this one(Removing the old one makes one 
less load to the inverter).

Before you do your K5/K5M make sure you go here:
http://www.kfuenf.org/en/techhelp.html

It takes you through step-by-step and has a lot of good pictures along
the way.  I think I will order from nightlauch tomorrow.

didobrain,
I ordered a pair of backlights yesterday (for my K5 and if my K2000
ever needs one.)  Have you put yours in the K5 yet?  Does it work?
