Display replacement - alternatives parts?

[BlackForest]

Does any of you know if Korg's spareparts for displays are interchangeable?
What i mean with e.g. Pa4X/3x?
I might be buying a damaged Kronos 1 where the backing light is not working but apparently the touch capability is still working.

Any thoughts on this?

PA4X/3X parts are not the same.

If you require spare parts for your Kronos or other Korg devices and a few other brands mentioned there too (use their brand drop down to see them, too many to list here).


The Spares request form is here (Request the parts here and they will give you the correct part codes to use on the main Korg Spares site) :-

Also the site is here for the spares (Korg Spares) :-

This is for UK People only from what I understand but it does list other countries on their forms so they may send to other countries too that are listed.

The LCD Panel and resistive touch panel aren’t Korg OEM parts — have a hunt around on the forums and you’ll find the OEM part details. Last I checked it was available on Mouser.

Thanks SeedyLee, I just couldn't find details on these parts. Mouse i didn't know. Best would be a shop that ships to Germany without hassle, tax and customs etc. That's why i would need the exact parts numbers.
Or alternatively a service manual...assuming the exact numbers are in there?

I suppose it's this one here (the "display" which creates the light, not the touch-unit that I need):

Even though it can look appealing, an used Kronos at low price with defects might end up costing you lots of time and money. There are many reasons which can cause the LCD to stop working - and not necessarily the display itself. It can be as easy as a disconnected ribbon, or the LCD I/F circuit on the back of the screen (KLM3007 on a K2) or more complicated problems elsewhere and next to impossible to diagnose without a multimeter, scope, etc. In short, you can't know what is wrong before having the unit and analyzing the problem. If it's a K2, the part you are looking for is UMSH-8420MD-2T, but again supposing it is the problem, which is far from sure without an accurate diagnostic. I would personally wait and find an used unit that works, but YMMV.
