I have a Boss 660 drum machine with an LCD, non-backlight display. I want to change it to a backlight display, or any other way to make it easy to see in my dark studio
I have not been able to find anyone doing this mod, which is weird. Has anyone here done something similar to a machine similar to this one?
Thank you
I know people have backlit other screens like the Gameboy, maybe you could just follow one of those on your drum machine.

Why would anyone take the risk of fucking up their precious device when you can get pic related for a few bucks?

Step 1: Open case up with a bandsaw.

I suppose that's a proprietary screen as opposed to a generic dot-matrix? I'd do it with an electroluminescent panel behind the LCD, but that might require tearing up the LCD itself a little. LCDs usually have some sort of backing, and removing it might have a negative effect on the functionality of the screen. Try putting a few LEDs (orange?) above the LCD's glass layers. But it would help if you posted a picture of the other side of the LCD.
