BTW.. here's a pic of the LCD working without the backlight:<br>

(not that cool looking w/nol backlight)<br>
<br>
The two solder pads for the EL back light are on the right hand side there
in <br>
the pic. I supposed I could hook it up to 120VAC from the wall to
test it <br>
out.. verify that it works.. But just haven't built up the nerve yet..
:)<br>
<br>
Don? You know where I could pick up an EL backlight inverter from
here in <br>
town?<br>
