Hi
one more advice: is this display compatible with K5?

I haven't verified, but IIRC, one of those has the good controller. Not 
sure of the pinout and mechanical fit though.

Hi
I have had problems making this match the output of an Optrex or Toshiba display
even though the pinout and controller language are the same.

Re: Will this display work?



Although this has the same controller language I don't believe it is compatible.
There are some things you would have to do to the  electronics to make the displays match

Re: Re: Will this display work?



I think the display viewing  angle is different. Something might have to be changed on the contrast pin or on some resistors on the lcd the set the contrast or viewing angle.

That's an interesting point; I have a radio with a similar problem, and I wonder if something like that might
be causing it. 

I just replaced the backlight on my K5 last week and was having some trouble a few days later; previously it
would sometimes reset itself and I would see some random lines running across the display, but after I put
the new foil in it started happening more and more until I wasn't able to use the Kawai for more than a few
minutes at a time. The connections seemed okay, so I thought it might have something to do with the power
supply. I moved the K5 into another room, plugged in a different power cord, and it's been working fine ever
since. I know that there is a problem with the circuit breaker for the room it was in (it's an old house);
maybe the K5 was just sensitive to the fluctuations in current.

Chris

A different contrast potentiometer maybe?
