I think this radio is coming up on almost 20 years old now. So I decided to take it apart and see how the backlight worked. Turns out to just be some little 3mm LED's, two of them, that shine inside a white enclosure to reflect the light into the back of the LCD display. Well... I don't have any 3mm LED's but I do have some 5mm LED's that are green (the color of the old ones) but are WAY brighter... So hell yea I put them in. I think I may need to put some tint on the screen now. I have a feeling it's going to light up my entire room at night lmao. I think the wife is not going to put up with this.... But she can't complain that it is too dim anymore lmao.</p></blockquote><p></p>
