Hi, friends, here you have:



*Web page at Digi-Key*

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=289-1032-ND
(page with replacement EL inverter)



*Digi-Key Part Number:*   *289-1032-ND*



Manufacturer: JKL Components
Corp.<http://digikey.com/Suppliers/us/JKL-Components.page?lang=EN>

Manufacturer Part Number: *NDL-205*



This is the inverter I've installed last month in my unit. Just some
additional comments:

The pins will line up differently on the new part, I used the output pin in
the original output hole as a marker and drilled new holes through the board
for the 3 remaining pins (be sure the new holes you are going to drill will
not short to any traces when you drill through the board).

Drill two extra holes through the board (just to each side of inverter) to
allow a plastic zip tie to go through bottom of hole around the top of
inverter and back down through second hole to zip tight under the bottom of
inverter board to hold inverter in place against the board, you may use two
plastic zip ties if needed.

Hard wire (jump) the remaining pins to the proper location

IN = 5V DC

G  = Ground

OUT = AC output for EL backlight panel

NC = No Connection



Good Luck SKY!!!


Saludos, Alvaro.-
