Hi all, I have a Access Virus KB (http://www.access-music.de/products.php4?product=viruskb), that recently had the display burn out. After going through pain with there service center here in America & already receiving the wrong display... I have decided to take matters into my own hands & do it myself. Anything said will be VERY much appreciated...
The original display is a yellow backlit 16x2 character display & fits the dimensions of these
(http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/1602a-color/index.html). Now i dont have the data sheet for the original. But i do have the specs of a compatible blueline display(Im wanting a blue or red display). First off... here are pics of the original display.

This here may be enough to tell if it will work. In the last bmp this is detailed on the back of the display. tg5v-0 94v-0 . 5v voltage right? & 94v is the maximum current?
Here is the blueline display from electronic-assembly.de , specs translated with babelfish(hehe)
__________
equipped with Controller HD44780 or compatible
2x16 - 5.55mm(character height) - 84x44mm(PCB outline) -
2x16 CHARACTER, 5,56mm, BLUE / WHITE, LED LIGHTING EA E162-NLW FRONT FRAMEWORK SUITABLY (WINDOW 60,0x14,8mm) LED stream 15..40..60mA external pre-resistor at pin 15 and 16 necessarily

These specs were taking from electronic-assembly.de (http://www.electronic-assembly.de/eng/doma/doma.htm - scroll down to 2x16 - 5.55mm - 84x44mm - EA E162-NLW )

From what I have learned about this it looks to me like it the displays at crystal font will work. one thing i should note, is that the only difference between the green and the blueline is the crossed power supply for the
backlight (+ is - and - is +).
Well, what do you guys think?
