Title: Changing LCD Display Backlight
Post by: Canga on January 15, 2014, 01:41:14 PM
Is there a way to change the back light color on the newer monster displays? Are the LED's on the board itself? Has anyone modded theirs?
I found this but nothing much else. Something like this http://image.sportrider.com/f/10354321/146_0807_03_z+ducati_monster_696+digital_LCD_dashboard.jpg (http://image.sportrider.com/f/10354321/146_0807_03_z+ducati_monster_696+digital_LCD_dashboard.jpg)

AFAIK the new bikes have LCD displays, so there's no back light to change - unless they are color screens with the option to change..

?

Ok. I figured it was a cheaper LCD and normally those do not have internal light sources, so i figured they had LED's producing it. I guess these come with internal light sources. Wonder if they can be changed? Anyone have one torn apart showing them or schematic?

They are lit I have seen some with Blueish back light my M1100 has a bluish backlight and I think some other models have an Orange Hued back-light I wanted to change mine to a darker blue, I have seen it done on mobile phones and other handheld devices looks very involved tiny parts big soldering iron if you get my drift

Have a look at some of the examples here http://www.newhavendisplay.com/Distribution/DigiKey/landing_page/Tools_and_Support/LCD_Backlight_Color_Options.html (http://www.newhavendisplay.com/Distribution/DigiKey/landing_page/Tools_and_Support/LCD_Backlight_Color_Options.html)
