Re: Re: K5 Repair Issues

Yep, when the power switch wire broke on my K5, I searched for three
days why my K5 wasn't powering on ;-).

To change the viewing angle of the LCD, you can adjust the CONTRAST
knob on the back of the synth to make it more comfortable.

The inverter is the "Nichia" branded white box on the power supply
board you talked about in a previous mail. I'll post a picture (if I
think about it) and try to tell you how to connect the new inverter (I
didn't buy a new inverter)
