Re: Element LCD, power light on but no picture

OK, I'm having the exact same problem with my ELEFT406. The board layouts are exactly the same as another user posted here. Sniff test, nothing smells or looks burnt. The LCD works. There is a picture showing on it as I can tell by shining a flashlight on it. Have sound on it too. Just the backlight is the problem. I checked voltages on the power supply. There is about 75 volts DC on the four connectors that go inside the case. I assume these are for the backlight. Voltages on the other terminals check out OK. Is there another board...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Good intro thread, You get to read a lot about the users here. I started my interest in electronics as a preteen. Started Dxing the BCB on an AA5 clock radio when I was nine. Played with the Altair 8080, Apple II and Trash 80 in my teens with my friends. I didn't buy my first computer until I was almost 25, a Commodore 128. At the time it ran circles around the IBM 8086. Wasn't until the 386 and the Amiga that the 64/128 couldn't keep up. Still have several C64's. Got my No Code Tech license in 1992. Upgraded to Tech...
