Is the back light on? The contrast button is an on off switch for the backlight. Push it in. It should turn on and off! Congradulations. It's a monster. I've got two 3000's and a 60II with the 3000 software.

BlackC7 post a pic of your twins in the "post your mp3/60 photos" thread, i'd love eye-candy!

Sounds like you need new backlight foil. The luminescence in these do fade out over time. Most places that sell Akai replacement parts have these as well as places like eBay. There is a thread on a DIY backlight if you search the forums. Good luck!

thanks bro.. one thing i couldnt find in the sample that i have a problem is.. how do i stop my pads from layering when they are in mono, they dont layer them selves..
