Replacing the AKAI S3000XL Sampler LCD Backlight with a Modern Solution
In this video I take a look at what can be done to fix a dim / non working LCD backlight on the AKAI S3000XL Sampler. The original backlight in these machines will wear out over time, thankfully there's a modern solution to return these samplers back to full working condition again! These are readily available on ebay from retroillumination (as of the time this video was posted). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plug-play-... I'm in the middle of creating videos on how to use the AKAI Sampler with the Commodore Amiga 1200 and Octamed, stay tuned for that! I live on coffee! https://ko-fi.com/sigoesretro Subscribe for more retro repairs and videos, thanks!
