what is the problem exactly of your LCD? have you made a topic about it?

for the 4K driver it's not so simple. you must disassemble the LCD backlight, remove the CCFL tube and replace it by the led strip. before to reassemble the backlight on the light guide of the LCD. so you must have some knowlegde on how to disassemble some electronic system. but yes I've made lot of picture to help.
but if there's some demand I can make a PCB. the problem is more the shipping. it will be more expensive than the components inside the packet xD

it's because the PCB is small and a minimum quantity is required to make a complete panel ;)

and about color I've made some test on my laser harp LCD some time ago I think the result could be the same ont the MPC4K

That red doesn't look eye friendly at all.
Green looks to cause the least fatigue.

Good job on the restauration!

Can I ask which fan you used to replace the old noisier fan? Mine is very noisy, it's driving me crazy! I live in the EU as well so could maybe find the same one..

Cheers
