If you order from Telesis they send you a brand new one included are some decent instructions. However you will need a soldering kit and some solder. You can pick one up at Walmart Lowes or Home Depot. Any hardware store should have the tools. You will need a phillip head screwdriver. There alot of screws to keep track of. Becareful not to rip the top of chasis off the base of the MPC60II. Once you have open the 60 you will have to remove the display. There are screws connecting it to the display housing. You must remove the screws only. should be about 4. One in each corner that are holding it in. Once you take it out you may have a wire connecting directly to the board of the dispaly. If Not Skip down to the next set of instructions. You simply remove your old display and solder the copper contact points of your new backlight to the board. ( I dunno mine was different and these directions are from Telesis please investigate before taking my word for it)
If you have a free floating wire in a clear tube just remove the old diplay. Push or remover the plastic surrounding the wire and solder the wire to the 2 copper contact points to your new backlight. CAREFUL not to burn your new backlight with the iron! Also watchout for too much solder on the iron drripping on to backlight!. Once soldering is done you should have some eletrical tape and tape up the soldering points. Similar to repairing a split wire if you worked on RC cars before. When your done and put your screws back in. Then plug up your 60 and turn it on and watch the light show! Isnt it bright? You just may need your shades so umm becareful.
One more thing if you have never soldered before practice on something before working on your MPC the idea is just to bond two metal points with solder. It shouldnt take a lot very very little is required. Have steady hands and take your time!!!! Alternatively you could pay Telesis to do it for you but you still have to send them either your MPC or remove the display and send it to them. The advantage to that is that if anything goes wrong with your backlight you can always call them up and request a replacement. Telesis not your cup of tea give VST in pasdena a call. They are a bit more expensive but seem like real pros and may have a faster turn around than most. You can say "F&*C that man, Im a BALLER!" and ship your MPC to Forat. Just be ready to pay the man cuz he dont take IOU's!
