Korg Kronos (2) 61 LCD Display damage / i need a new one

Post by Germany_EM »

Does anyone have any experience with the displays from China that are offered on eBay? I really need a display because mine no longer works and would like to know if anyone has had positive experiences with the displays from China so that I can buy one. I would be very grateful for any helpful answer

PS: Original display + touch panel from Korg Germany are priceless

First you must make sure the problem is actually the LCD and/or touch panel and not something else. If you know it is the case, then for sure try the models you see as they are very difficult to find now. There are a few sites who still have some left but it can vary very quickly.

I found what look to be direct replacements on Alibaba and some of those chinese sites. As well as ebay and Reverb($).

I'm still trying to replace a screen for my friend's Kronos. It should have a yellowish multiconnector with at least a dozen traces, as well as a power lead for the backlight, plus a 4 conductor wire that plugs into the Kronos.
These crack easily, do NOT put too much pressure on them. I have tried a couple times to replace but they always break (glass). And I'm still not sure if the screen/finger sensor is broke or maybe it is the KLM3007 board the display connects to.

I've replace screens on 4 M3's, no issue, Kronos, OMG, NOT!

Hallo,

ich habe mal 2016 ein komplettes Display für den Kronos X61 bei Thomann gekauft.
Die machen das super. Du fragst an, die machen ein Angebot und wenn du bezahlt hast, wirdc es bei KORG bestellt und geliefert.
Hat damals komplett mit Klebestreifen etwa 290,00 € gekostet.
Viele Grüße
Frank

Ich bin gerade nicht in der Lage, ein Foto zu schicken. Wenn du mir deine E-Mail-Adresse sendest, kann ich dir die Bestellnummern schicken.

Have you tried Syntaur? I got a replacement Korg M50 screen and it worked just fine.
