Changing backlight in LCD display...

[Nazx]

Hello everyone!

I 'm dealing with the project referred in this URL: (http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/pc/020/index_gr.html)

This is about "Printer cable LCD display"... Project is simple but i'd like to ask sth else about the LCD display used on this project...

I bought the LCD but I haven't found LCD with the desired backlight colour. There only yellow ones or green ones here i live and i found! (Livin' in Greece Athens-Thessaloniki).

So, how can I change the attached smd LEDs, I suppose, making the backlight in the LCD display to another ones in the colour I desire?? without destroying it of caurse...

P.S. Anyone speaks greek can send me PM, will be very helpful! ;D

hi nazx!
you cant change it through your software and i do think that u cant even remove the back panel light but u can add a few leds more which are configured by your software by hardware u would have to change the source inside.Dont mess up until it is very necessary

hello my friend...

i know that there isn't any way to change colour by software if there is no hardware support... and in my case there is no hardware support, as there no extra colour LEDs!

so there isn't any other way to do this surgery at all huh?

i thought that if i warmed up the LEDs solderred  on the LCD display providing backlight i would be able to remove them... after that i could solder new LEDs of the desired colour... I mean the same type of LEDs of caurse (i think they are smd...)

This isn't possible?
