So today I changed my kurzweil2000vx screen out to a new custom lcd. Took me about 1 hour to pull out the mobo and connect the new screen. .
7 screws on back case. The mobo had like 16 screws. You had to gently flip it over and set it on towels to not damage the components. It is 2 boards on a copper plate. Minimal cables had to be disconnected. You have to unhook a ground from xformer though and make sure it is reconnected!
The screen had a power cable and 4 screws with a ribbon cable. Unhook and remove. New screen had I ribbon cable and 2 adjustable pots on cables. No power needed for upgraded screen.
The blue adjustable pots are for contrast and backlighting of new screen. Set to desired contrast. This was the hardest part for me to get right. It is set it and forget it but you have to partially reassemble the case and let the wires hang out with unit powered on to get the right adjustments made.
I ordered the new screen on eBay from a guy in UK. Total with shipping was about 150$. He custom builds them in either black on white or blue on white. You tell him what you prefer.
