Title
Ersa i-CON soldering station LCD display backlight replacement
Introduction
We have about 20 of these soldering stations in my workplace, but after 5 or 6 years of use, the display backlight started to fail. Without backlight, the display is almost ilegible. Since 4 our stations have developed this problem so far, I've decided to look into it. Ersa doesn't offer standalone replacement displays, they force you to buy a completely new control board. It costs whopping 160 EUR, which is almost half the price of a new soldering station. It is possible to buy replacement display [http://www.orientlcd.com/AMG12864PR_G_B12WTDW_2_9_128x64_COG_LCD_Module_p/amg12864pr-g-b12wtdw.htm|in this American e-shop], but shipping costs to Europe start around 100 USD. Again, that's not exactly cost-effective. In reality, the displays are probably manufactured somewhere in China, but I couldn't identify their original manufacturer, nor I was able to find other source (Ebay, Alibaba...) for them. If someone else succeeds, please let others know in the comments.
Anyway, since I couldn' get new displays for reasonable price, I decided to replace burned backlight LEDs in the displays.
