use a razor blade to begin the process and use a Q tip soaked in alcohol to help.

and also until you comfortable remember this: PATIENCE, go slowly

the screen should be clear with a tinge of green

I don't think either is better over the other.

just depends on the situation and what the rest of your equipment is compatible with.
wouldn't be too hard to put a 1/4" jack in a gameboy or acquire one with that in it.....

I looked around and searched the noi chan site but couldn't find it

does anyone have the link to the earlier episodes?

as far as amps go, bass would be great, even better would be a keyboard/pa amp.

I play keyboards, and I have a behringer keyboard amp 350 watts, 15" speaker, sounds AWESOME!
4 channels, eq, effects, mic in, stereo in/out

plus it was half the price of a roland equivalent

changing the capacitators doesn't help either

well Im going to change the capacitators while I have everything taken apart, why not?

I'll post if that helps at all.

which part of the connection? a backlight is the reason that I took it apart and cleaned it, I went ahead and started the backlight so now the housing and polarization film is off.

and I ran over the connections of the ribbon to the pcb board with soldering iron just to make sure everything was connected there, I'll put up a pic in a minute

what should I check for?

I inspected it real closely its black when those contacts (springy pieces of bent metal) between the pcbs aren't touching the screen is black, but when they touch the picture fades in, take them off the picture fades out to black

So I got a gray dmg for the screen to backlight.

when I got it I opened it up and dusted it off with comp duster, cleaned it with some alcohol and now after cleaning it while I have the shell apart but the lcd screen plugged in and a game loaded the screen is black and nothing I try gets it to go back to normal with a picture, but when I screw the entire thing back together, pcb boards to shell and shell closed tightly, I now have a picture like normal.

any Ideas what kind of problem this is and how to prevent/fix it?

I have the original kaossilator, kaossilator pro and the KP3

of all of them, the KP3 is the most useful, with its effects and sampling capability

due to the short amount of sample time that kind of limits you.

but they're just like any other instrument, gadget, device, they can be utilized creatively and tastefully if you know how to use them.

I like to just jam around with them but have never really used them in any songs I compose

soldering iron heat on the front ribbon cable connection

and when I say replace the foam pieces, I mean, use those foam pieces to apply pressure to the the contact points of the ribbon cables and lcd.

I've done the same thing, yes probably ribbon cable. sucks big time after you go through all that trouble

1st try heating the front accesible ribbon cable and seeing if that helps, then applying pressure on the back ribbon cable that is on the backside of the lcd.

try using the leftover foam pieces
