Hey all,
I just got a really nice E-Synth Ultra off eBay, and found that the display is generally too dark to view contrast-wise (backlight nice and bright) unless the contrast is set all the way up to +7. Fiddling with the two CONTRAST jumpers on the motherboard only makes the LCD even darker.
Anyone has an idea what's going on? I guess I could just leave the contrast setting on +7, but it doesn't seem to be normal to me, it should be more or less readable at 0, but instead it's almost completely dark. Anyone had experience with this?
EDIT: I noticed this problem is power-related. If I unplug the internal hard drive, the display becomes a little brighter. I have a 40GB Seagate Barracuda IV in there, it draws 0.75A of 5VDC and 0.85A of 12VDC. Does this mean my PSU is dying?
