I tried searching but didn’t find anyone else with this issue on this unit, but if we get it fixed, this will probably be relevant to any old device with a very dim lcd screen. What do you do (or want to do) with your midi processors. It is usable as is but a nice bright display would make it a lot better. I really enjoy bringing old electronics back to life so I hope we can fix it. I don’t want to press my luck so I’m not messing with it further until my buddy who knows better can take a look at it. It's a 1U rackspace swiss army knife for remotely controlling up to 8 units. It has a number of useful functions that allow you to run a rack from a controller keyboard without needing a ton of controller functions from the keyboard itself. There is a little knob next to the ribbon that goes to the lcd with a dial, not sure what that is. The MX-8 is a real workhorse MIDI patchbay and covers a lot of ground. I plan to replace the battery since I have the thing open and who knows how old that is. Digital Music Corp MX-8 (Programmable Midi Patchbay) Super handy for those of you and your complicated midi setups, change your midi routing on the fly by. It functions fine so this is the only issue. I can see it if I put a bright light on it and look close.

I took the first steps of opening it up and have a friend who is good with electronics who is planning to help me out with it to see if we can get it back to visible. I need a MIDI patchbay to connect my hardware synths and computer to. I like how straight forward it is, but the lcd is barely visible. I picked this midi patchbay a while back and it’s great.
