Hi Folks,

I have an iOptron Mini Tower #8320 with the #8401 controller (v081008W). The backlight for the display has died (the keyboard display itself is fine). I have tried the setup for the backlights (there are individual setups for the display and the keyboard), but nothing happens. When I get into the “setup” section, the first column on the display is dark as well (but not in the “Menu” or other modes). The controller appears to be otherwise fully functional.

I pulled it apart to see if there was an LED that could be replaced, but no luck: the display panel appears to be lit from the edge: and there is a multitude of wires attached...

My electronic skills amount to being able to fix a soldered joint, but not much more: so I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so were you able to fix it?

Thanks in anticipation,

Dean
