ken_h Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 As one of the 5% or so males who suffer from colour blindness I wonder if anyone has sucessfully changed the colour of the illumination of the rider lcd display so that it is more easily readable? I think it uses LEDs? can these be replaced? Link to comment
99Roadster Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't think that can be done. LCD is a crystal display with a liquid illuminator sandwiched in-between. LED displays use diodes for light. The only way to change it would be to replace the LCD panel with one that displays a different color (colour). Possible with a differently spec'd display but probably more costly as well. Link to comment
Schupo Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 My little $30 XM Roady's LCD display can easily be set by the user to one of several different colors. "Zo, venn vee dezide you neet kahlerz, you villll gett kahlerz..." Link to comment
R4ND0M_AX3 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I haven't opened my display up but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to change the color of the backlight. As long as you use something with similar electrical characteristics (current draw). I've done this on older cell phones and car stereos. The trick is to find out what you have now. Link to comment
