Inverter was definitely bad. Light was working fine but a component on the PCB was getting red hot. Sadly the PCB is now chargrilled :( ----- Reply message ----- From: "Rodger Boots" <rlboots2(a)gmail.com> To: "Technical Tools Mail List" <techtoolslist(a)flippers.com> Subject: [Techtoolslist] ABI Boardmaster 4000 part needed Date: Tue, Nov 1, 2011 16:30 Funny thing, inverters. If the backlights are bad the inverter won't run and if the inverter is bad the backlights won't run, so it's hard to tell which is bad without replacing one or the other. You might try finding an equivalent display at DigiKey and see what converter they sell for it .

ABI Boardmaster 4000 part needed

Hi all, I don't suppose anyone is breaking an ABI Boardmaster 4000 are they? The inverter PCB for the display is shot in the one I have here and I think it's beyond repair. The machine is still usable but as it's only on loan from someone I really need to get the backlight working again before returning the unit. Typical that these things always go up in smoke the minute you borrow something!! Thanks, Martin.
