>RE:   Hi Wayne,  Simply put, the color of foil is insignificant 
here as this in theory is merely an electrical component.  I had the 
same problem with the last Korg 01 as well as my EII. On the Korg, 
it is impossible to remove old foil so you slide new one in on top 
of it.  When you unsolder the two contacts where the old foil was 
connected and remove old foil from display, try to get as much 
solder off display contacts as possible with minimuim exposure to 
heat.  Then cover those two contacts on display with electrical 
tape. Slide new foil in place and take the wire from inverter and 
solder directly on to the contacts of new foil. That is, the 
inverter must connect to new foil and nothing else. Again I used 
thin piece of electrical tape to cover the area where new contacts 
joined foil.  Your inverter should be putting out around 100v with 
no load.  Just remember to limit your time solder gun is exposed to 
display board and foil, no more than 2 seconds as heat travels 
quickly and you could fry your display as well as ruining foil.  
Cooltronix recommends laminating display.  I used clear package tape 
on both sides and worked fine.  Key here is new foil must be 
insulated from display board  in order to work properly, look at 
your old foil that you removed.   
I am sure the person with the problem would try this their display 
would work properly, given the inverter is working.    Doug
