Just recently bought a DX7s.
The LCD display illuminates but has very low contrast.
Anyone know a way of adjusting this?
Cheers,

Re: Yamaha DX7s Low Contrast Display
Hi the display itself has no adjustment, you'll have to go on the circuit board and adjust VR1
look at the attached schematic. Its a small potentiometer that you can adjust with a precision (or small) screwdriver. Hope it helps

Re: Yamaha DX7s Low Contrast Display
If it doesn't, consider replacing the display. There are OLED ones available - they are not very expensive and easy to install.
At least not on the DX21, but I doubt it will be much more complicated on the DX7s.
Concerning the DX21 I am speaking out of experience since the display went bad and I replaced it with an OLED display. Probably I'll have to do it on my DX7IID as well sooner or later.
