EL-Foil - Solution for Dimming Displays

Bookmarking this one in case I ever need it. Title link takes you to a site that explains how to deal with fading displays on certain synths.

"After some years many displays become "darker" and unreadable. In most cases it is not necessary to replace the whole display. These displays are transparent with backround-light. This light is an EL-Foil."
The EL-Foil is the lighting element strip within the display.
