Uhm, about that..Originally Posted by J57ltr
First it needs to be removed and the black tabs pressed in to separate the case.
Then this cable comes off the smaller board for the buttons.
Two ribbon cables. This was during reassembly. It's easier to guide the ribbons in as you lower the board putting it back together. Then press the tabs to secure the cables. There's a black mark to make sure they're fully seated.
I lifted the board off and some little reflector things fell out. I'd advise not to touch the surface of these. I handled them by the tabs only, which also only allow them to be inserted over the paper reflector one way. The tab on the reflector on the right (red arrow) needs to be opposite the tab already in the white frame. (So there's one clear tab on each side of the ribbon cable connector in the white plastic frame.)
After the white frame is removed by pressing the tabs, here are the LEDs for the display. My first impression of this is that it would probably look terrible if the LEDs aren't nearly flat. It might look wavy or uneven, but maybe the light's distributed enough though all the reflector pieces. I'm still on the fence there.
The button LEDs look familiar.
This looks like an issue. I guess I can use some blue ones if I want purple buttons, lol.
Hrmh.. I'd really, really advise not accidentally touching this part. (Like I did.)
It's not plugged in. Dots do things here when it is.
Pad view of the LEDs.
Ok. Now, I found the LED's already. I can only find two sites for them.
The first is Kingbright, a manufacturer I think here in the US. - http://www.kingbrightusa.com/categor...SMD+LED&Page=1
A second site lists another variety of Kingbright, plus another manufacturer that needs a 10 weeks lead time (lol). - http://www.mouser.com/Optoelectronic...yp37eaZ1yvleoo
It looks a little different, but those are also two pad LED's. I'm moving next weeked, finally! I can maybe look at this in another few weeks. I only have one DIC right now too. (giggity)
If anyone else gets to it first, pics would be sweet.
