That white screen scared me too!!! Easy way to change contrast: Hold down ENTER and turn jog wheel!

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks, I'll try that!

this was my dream synth , it is the first time i really started to fall in love with sound design V.A.S.T is still years ahead of many modern synths

[@RunningonairMusic]

High praise indeed!

[@benedwards1047]

These are AMAZING synths! Well done for rescuing a true classic. Can't wait to hear what you do with it...

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks. Yes I'm looking forward to exploring what it can do.

The New Displays from backlightsonline Have the ribbon Attached and do not require the power cable.

[@RunningonairMusic]

Thanks, that could be a good option for those without reasonable soldering experience. I got my display from here: www.buydisplay.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?resolution=158 It's a lot cheaper and took about a week to get to me.

Hi I was wondering if you could help me I have a k2000 v3 Two small glass fuses on the kettle lead insert have blown I replaced and it happened again Have you experienced this problem Cheers Mick

It's probably something inside the PSU that is shorted but you'll need to take it to tech to get it fixed.
