Emax

from the OP's datasheet, pins 15 and 16 are for an LED backlight......

so, yeah.. it's an LED backlight. No need for the backlight inverter 
module anymore. pull it out, too!

Just wire 5V through a resistor (start with 6R8, assuming the LED 
load/current requirements are right in the datasheet) 1/2W resistor from 
to the "A" connection of the backlight, and wire the "K" connection to 
ground.
The Emax shouldn't worry about another 120mA, on 5V, I imagine.... (not 
that I've ever tried, though!)

The LED backlight power is a pretty simple thing - has anyone checked 
the data/control pins are in the right order on the old and the new module??
