Replacing the Back-Lighting of the OP37
The brightness of the LCD back–lighting decreases during the course of time
for technological reasons.
Increase the service life of the two fluorescent tubes by blanking the screen
(refer to Section 11.2).
The difference in brightness between a new fluorescent tube and an old one is
clearly obvious on the screen. Replace both tubes simultaneously when one
fails. This will save having to open up the OP a second time when the second
tube fails.
The back–lighting can only be replaced for an OP37 with TFT display. In the
case of an OP37 with STN display, the complete display must be replaced.
Observe the following safety notes when replacing the back–lighting:
