Hey there!
I got an S3000XL yesterday. Very excited about it.
Only thing is, I can't see anything on the screen unless I'm no more than a feet away from it. I saw on eBay there was LCD replacement but it costs like 200 bucks... I have not that type of money for a screen (that's about the price I paid for the entire sampler)
I saw a replacement backlight on eBay, which is 20$ - that I could pay. But I'm not sure if it is the part I need.
How can I know if it is a backlight problem, or the whole screen?
Now, when I put the display on, there's a constant 3 kHz. Then, turning the display contrast, nothing appears until 10 o'clock, and it has its full lights on at about noon.
Does anyone knows if the replacement backlight would do the trick? Is there any test I can do to make sure it's that problem?
The guy told me he would take the sampler back if I experienced problems with it... I'd rather do it the faster possible if I have to. Paying an extra 200$ is out of the equation for me right now.
Thanks
