[WTB] old LCD 2x40 w/ BL

[julienvoirin]

I am looking for an old but NOS and/or working LCD 2x40 characters, HD44780 compliant to replace a dead one in a Roland D550.

That MUST be slim cause the old one had a total thickness of 9mm (for example, the actual LCDs on ebay are 14mm)

It must have a backlight, a led backlight. no preference on colour.

Thanks for your proposals :)

Hi Julien.

You probably already know this links:

http://www.backlight4you.com/product_info.php/info/p926_EL-Panel--blue-green--21mm-x-166mm--laminated.html

The second is for use with a non backlighted LCD wich seems to be more common in this thickness.

Regards.

thanks fairlight, yes i've seen those, but the price for the EL foil is definitly a steal. My LCD is working, but i can't easily read what's written on without a BL. Moreover i would like to avoid the necessary cutting of PCB, drilling the case, etc.

So I am also looking for cheap EL foil replacemnt part ^^
