K5synth

Well I replaced my backlight with one I ordered from www.nightlaunch.com.

It took less than two weeks from when I ordered and the parts look good.  

Good news/bad news though on my backlight.  

The good news:  I had no problems removing the LCD, taking out the old
backlight and sliding in the new backlight.  The new light has some
wires and a plastic "tab" that kind of gets in the way, so I soldered
the backlight wires to where the wires connect to the LCD board. 
Hint:You have to cut the new backlight to size, so make the backlight
a little longer (say 1/4 inch) than the original to make things easier.

Bad news: My backlight does not work but I think my inverter is the
problem.  I am only getting about 1/2 Volt at the output of my
inverter, and I am supposed to get 120V @400Hz if I understand the
part correctly.  I tested my inverter before I did the backlight
install and saw it had low voltage, but I was hoping that my existing
"dead" backlight was causing the problem (i.e. it was shorted.) I
guess not because even with the new backlight I get very low voltage.

Anyway, it looks like I need to get an inverter.  I can get an
inverter from nightlaunch for $17.99+s/h but it needs 9V DC.  I
understand the inverter in the K5 uses 5V DC. 
 
Q1: Does the K5 inverter use 5V DC?
Q2: If I measure the voltage on the two wires to the left of the
inverter, should I get 120V if everything is working? (My Fluke says
it is good <=1kHz)
Q2: Does anyone know where to get a compatible K5 inverter and how
much it will cost?

Thanks again for all the help.  This group is great.
