[sdiy] Backlight replacement

[GRAINGER Steve]

Dear All,
 
Off topic but definitely DIY!!!!!
 
My Akai S3000 sampler's backlight is dying a slow but dignified death.
Some options occur to me and I'd like opinions from any of you who've
had this problem.
 
It seems to me I can do several things:-
 
1. Replace the backlight with the 'correct' item from Cimple Solutions
 
2. Get a universal 'kit' backlight EL panel from Farnell (or other
source?)
 
3. Go for a LED panel (I'm sure I can tap into a suitable voltage
somewhere) as an 'off-the-shelf' item
 
4. Make my own panel with matrix board and surface mount LED and current
limiting resistors.
 
Anyone out there had a go at this? Any suggestions?
 
Regards to you all.
 
Steve
