Re: Backlight

Hi Fabio,

First try to add solder, that sometimes work. Then, if that doesn't work,
you could try a new backlight if the inverter still works (audible whine
when the synth is turned on). If it doesn't work, then replace the inverter.
Often, both the inverter and EL film are dead.

Cheers,
Antoine
