dcer10 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Has anyone had any backlight problems with the PLED's? My screen works with the backlight when plugged into another older single SID I have set up, but when plugged into the 6582 board the text comes up, but the backlight does not work (doesnt look very red either). Im afraid to just swap the polarity as it works with the other SID.. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 There's a missing track for the backlight, among the known errors on the PCB, see bottom of this page:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/wilba_mb_6582_base_pcb_construction_guideIf you feel like adding these "fixes" to the wiki, please do it!

dcer10 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks wilba.You will have to connect the B+ pin (pin 9) to +5v (pin 12).I guess I must have done the wrong thing, I connected up pin 9 and 12 on the PLED but still no backlight. It comes on, but no red, no light. Have I mistaken what is required?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparx Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Connect them underneath the LCD header on the board.RegardsSparx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Don't think I've seen red pleds either.... But the backlight is definitely on, in the pics above... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcer10 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hi All,Its on in the pic above where it is connected up to a different board (a normal single sid) for testing, same cable etc. I have bridged pins 9 and 12 on the actual PLED itself and it had no effect. I will try to bridge them under the header on the board tonight, but I cant imagine how that would make a difference compared to jumpering them on the PLED. Im wondering if there might be a different problem lurking? I connected up the PLED using the LCD guide in the wiki as reference.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 dcer10, you have a red LCD exactly the same as mine, not a PLED.The bridge should be done on the bottom of the base PCB.I should have done a better diagram before now, sorry :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcer10 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks guys, got it happening. I did the bridge on the LCD (dont know why I thought it was a PLED!) but it didnt work. Took it off and put it on the board and it works perfect.The screen looks great!That's me sorted for the base board other than the fan issue, on to the CS now.
