Instruction Guide
1. Introduction
The current factory installed LCD in the K2000 series keyboards can be
difficult to read in many circumstances. This due to its very soft EL back-light.
The K2500 series keyboards feature a different LCD that has a CCFL back.
This form of back- light results in a much brighter, more readable LCD display.
This document describes how the EL LCD in a Kurzweil K2000 series
keyboard can be replaced using a CCFL back- light LCD. It provides step by
step instructions, including pictures and diagrams, and should be read in its
entirety before commencing the upgrade. The CCFL LCD gives an almost
identical look and brightness to the LCD in the K2500 series keyboards. The
only difference being that the K2000 has a positive image, whilst the K2500 has
a negative image.
The document accompanies a box of components including the LCD (see
Section 1.1) that have been pre-prepared to allow easy installation. The CCFL
back-light on the new LCD requires a different power supply to the EL power
supply currently in the K2000. A small power inverter has been supplied for
this purpose (see section 1.1 and 3).
At any time after the upgrade has been installed, the new CCFL LCD can
be removed and the Kurzweil factory EL LCD re -installed. No circuitry
used by the factory LCD is changed by this upgrade.
1.1. Parts List

The accompanying box should contain the following components:
⇒ Toshiba TLX-1781-C3B LCD display. It should have both 20 way
ribbon cable and 2 core black silicon cable attached.
⇒ TDK CXA-K0505-VJL Inverter. It should have both 4 way ribbon
cable and 2 core silicon black cable attached.
⇒ 8 core enameled copper wire ribbon cable.
⇒ Packet of M3 (3.0mm) nylon and steel nuts, bolts and washers.
In addition to the components above, there are a number of other CCFL

LCD displays and inverters, available from various ma nufacturers, which
are suitable for this upgrade. Contact MJS Audio for more information.

Instruction Guide
1.2. IMPORTANT information and Safety Instructions
Kurzweil WARRANTY
Both the modifications described in this document and the changing of the LCD
breach or void any Kurzweil warranty for the K2000 series keyboards. MJS
Audio accepts no liability for damage resulting from this upgrade.
HARD DISK
This upgrade cannot be installed into a K2000 keyboard that has, or will
have, an internal Hard Disk. The CCFL LCD back- light uses the power
supply normally used for the Hard Disk. This power supply does not have the
capacity to drive both the back- light and a hard disk (see Section 2.2.2). MJS
Audio is currently investigating an alternative power supply for the CCFL
back-light. Contact MJS Audio for details.
FAN KIT
The K2000 Keyboard being upgraded should have the Kurzweil Fan Kit
installed since the CCFL LCD dissipates more heat than the factory EL LCD
(see Section 2.3).
HIGH VOLTAGES
The new CCFL LCD display requires high voltages (up to 1500VAC) to
power the back-light. Care must be exercised at all times to avoid electric
shock from the LCD and the power inverter (see Section 2.2.2 and Section 3.7).
STATIC ELECTRICITY
The electronics inside the K2000 are susceptible to damage from static
electricity. It is recommended that at all times during this upgrade, the K2000
be kept on an anti-static surface. The technician performing the upgrade should
also wear a grounded wrist strap.
HARD RESET
This upgrade involves disconnecting the PRAM backup batteries. Ensure
all important memory is backed up onto disk before commencing this upgrade.
Contrast Adjustment
Slight contrast adjustment may be necessary 10 to 20 minutes after the K2000
keyboard is powered up. This is normal for LCD displays. As the LCD
warms up due to the CCFL tube, the contrast of the LCD changes slightly (see
Section 2.3).

Instruction Guide
2. Upgrade Overview
The overall steps involved with this upgrade are as follows.
1. Removing the current factory LCD
2. Removing sections of the circuit board and K2000 case surrounding the
LCD. This also involves rerouting a number of circuit board tracks.
3. Installing the new CCFL LCD.
4. Installing the power inverter required for the CCFL back-light.
These steps will be discussed in detail in Section 3.
2.1. Connections
Figure 2-1 below shows the wiring and components required for this upgrade.
The display has a CCFL tube above the LCD window. This tube is driven by a
DC to AC Inverter which derives its power supply from the Fan Kit wiring.

Figure 2-1: Wiring Diagram

Of the components supplied in the accompanying box, the JST connector is not
present, as it could not be sourced in Australia. Other terminals have been used
in its place and soldered directly to the pins on the inverter. The soldered
terminals have been covered in Silicon for insulation.

Instruction Guide
Note also that the polarity of the AC signal between the inverter and the CCFL
tube is not important. Although these signals are marked AC OUT and AC
RETURN, they are both floating and can be connected either way.
2.2. Electrical Characteristics

2.2.1. LCD
The K2000 uses a 240x64-pixel display based around a Toshiba T6963C
controller chip (also used by many other manufacturers). The Toshiba TLX-
1871-C3B LCD display is pin compatible with the current factory LCD display
that is either a Sharp or a Samsung. See section 4.1 for the pin configuration.
2.2.2. DC to AC Inverter
The TDK CXA-K0505-VJL inverter converts +5VDC to between 500-
1500VAC (sine wave). It connects to the power supply normally reserved for
an internal Hard Disk (see Section 3.7 for installation details). This Hard Drive
power socket is part of the Fan Kit wiring and supplies the following signals
(the current ratings are taken from the Kurzweil web-site).
Pin Signal Current rating

1 +12V DC < 1.0 A Startup, < 0.75 A Continuous
2 GND (12V) NA
3 GND (5V) NA
4 +5V DC < 0.625 A Startup, < 0.625 A Continuous
Table 2-1: Hard Disk connector pin-out & power supply ratings
The inverter connects to pins 3 & 4 and draws 0.4A average current with 0.58A
current peaks (including startup current). This has been measured using a CRO
and is safely within the ratings specified in Table 2-1.
With the inverter connected to this power supply, there is negligible current
available on the +5VDC line to power a Hard Disk. For this reason, this LCD
upgrade must not be installed in a K2000 that has, or will have, an internal Hard
Disk.
MJS Audio is currently investigating alternative DC power supplies for use
with the inverter. For example a low profile 110VAC/6VAC transformer could
be installed to provide a DC power supply completely independent of all other
power supplies in the K2000. Also a separate rectifier and voltage regulator
could be connected to the secondary windings of the current factory installed
transformer.
2.3. Thermal Characteristics

No formal temperature measurements have been made for previous installations
of this upgrade. However informal measurements (using fingers, hands) show a
definite increase in LCD temperature, above room temperature. To avoid

Instruction Guide
problems in the K2000 it is recommended that the Fan Kit always be present or
installed, even if the Fan Kit (hence Hard Disk connector) is not used as the
source of power for the inverter.
It is a common fact that the contrast of LCD displays change with temperature,
hence the CONTRAST parameter in the K2000 software. As the new LCD
warms up, due to the CCFL tube, its contrast will noticeably change. The
CONTRAST parameter will sometimes need adjustment 10-20 minutes after
powering up the K2000.
2.4. Physical Dimensions

2.4.1. LCD
Figure 2-2 shows a comparison between the new CCFL back- light display and
the current EL back-light display. Both displays are approximately the same
thickness however the CCFL display is 9 mm taller. To install the CCFL LCD,
some of the K2000 case and circuit board above the current EL LCD must be
removed (see Section 3.3)

Note also that the vertical distance between the mounting holes is not the same.
This will be addressed in Section 3.5.
2.4.2. Inverter
The inverter is extremely small at 87 x 16.5 x 6 mm and can be mounted almost
anywhere inside the K2000 (see Section 3.7).

Instruction Guide
3. Upgrade Steps
This section provides step by step instructions on how to perform the upgrade.
Note: Main-board 1 refers to the circuit board that holds the EPROM’s and
the sample DRAM
Main-board 2 refers to the circuit board with the Digitech effects
processor and analog output circuitry.
3.1. Preparing the K2000

• Place the K2000 upside down with the keys facing away. Make sure the
K2000 is supported at both ends so as not to damage the Mod. and Pitch
Bend wheels.
• Remove the 6 back panel screws and remove the back panel. Unplug the
fan wiring from Main-board 2 (see Figure 3-1: the Fan Kit power socket is
circled).
Figure 3-1: Fan Kit power socket
• Unplug all the connectors, including ribbon connectors and power

connectors, from the two main-boards. If the sampling option is installed,
the sampling option analog cable is soldered to the top right of Main-board
2 (see Figure 3-2) – leave this in place but be careful when removing the
main-boards as the solder can easily.
• Remove the 12 screws holding the two main-boards in place (see Figure 3-3
and Figure 3-4: the screws are circled).

Instruction Guide
Figure 3-2: Sampling Option analog wiring
Figure 3-3: Main-board 1
Figure 3-4: Main-board 2

Instruction Guide
• Unscrew the nut and washers (lower right of Main-board 2) and remove the
earth strap (see Figure 3-5).
Figure 3-5: Earth Strap (lower right side of Main-board 2)
• Gently remove Main-boards 1 & 2 - the boards are joined in the middle and
have a common metal back-plane (be careful not to break the sampling
option analog cables which are still soldered to the top of Main-board 2).
The factory LCD and a number of ribbon cables can now be seen. Figure
3-6 shows this with the new LCD in place, not the old – everything else is
the same.
Figure 3-6: New LCD and Surrounding Circuit board
• Remove the sticky tape holding the ribbon cables to the LCD and circuit
board, and move the ribbon cables out of the way of the LCD. Keep the
tape as it will be used to tape down the ribbon cables when the new LCD is
in place.
What should now be visible is the factory LCD held in by four screws.

Instruction Guide
3.2. Removing the LCD

• Remove the four screws that hold the LCD in place, and lift out the LCD.
Keep the screws as they will be needed to screw the new LCD in place.
There will be a rectangle of spongy foam stuck to the front of the LCD. This
creates a seal between the LCD and the window of the K2000 case.
• Gently pull the foam off the LCD and stick it onto the new CCFL LCD.
The foam will most likely stretch as it is pulled off. If this occurs, cut
sections out of the foam to ensure its size remains the same when placed on
the new LCD.
3.3. Modifying the K2000 case

What can now be seen is the LCD recess (Figure 3-7). The window has a
blackened edge surrounding the clear center LCD viewing area.

Instruction Guide
• The circuit board and the K2000 case have to be cut away to make room for
the CCFL back- light above the LCD (see Figure 3-8). Approximately 8 mm
of the circuit board must be cut away, and approximately 14 mm of the
K2000 case.
The cutting can performed using a Dremel or Arlec super-tool with a small
rotating disc/blade. The copper tracks on the circuit board will be severed and
repaired later in section 3.4.
Ensure that a vacuum cleaner is held near the blade when cutting the K2000
case and circuit board. Plastic and circuit board dust tends to go everywhere!
Place the new LCD in the recess at any time to test if more case needs to be cut
away. Ensure that there is a gap of 1 or 2 mm between the cut away circuit
board and CCFL tube. The LCD should fit comfortably however the LCD
circuit board will sit a little above the screw holes (where the LCD is held into
place). This is because the front of the new LCD is approximately 2 mm deeper
than the previous LCD: this difference will be padded up with washers when
the LCD is screwed into place.
Important: When cutting the K2000 case, do not cut or remove the case all the
way to the clear window. Leave about 1mm thickness of the case,
otherwise light from the back- light will appear through the case.
Be careful also not to scratch the thin black coating on the clear
window –unwanted back- lighting will appear through the scratch.
3.4. Rerouting the Circuit Board Tracks

• Take the pre-prepared ribbon cable made from the enamel copper wire and
place it on the circuit board as shown in Figure 3-9.
• Solder the ends of the enameled copper wire to the severed circuit board
tracks (see Figure 3-10 and Figure 3-11) by first:
• trimming each cable to a suitable length so that they meet each track
neatly,
• scraping away a small section of the green enameled coating on each of
the circuit board tracks, and
• scraping away the enamel on the ends of the copper wires.
Important: Make sure the copper wires are soldered to the correct tracks –
i.e. ensure the tracks are in the same order at both ends. When
soldering is complete, test track continuity with a multi- meter.

Instruction Guide
Figure 3-9: Enameled copper wire ribbon cable

• Glue or tape the enameled copper ribbon cable to the circuit board so that it
doesn’t move or fall into the LCD recess.
Figure 3-10: Enameled copper wire ribbon cable (LHS closeup).
Figure 3-11: Enameled copper wire ribbon cable (RHS closeup).

Instruction Guide
3.5. Installing the new LCD

• Screw the LCD in place in the LCD recess using screws in the top two holes
(pointed to in Figure 3-13). Use 4 or 5 of the steel washers (supplied in the
box components) between the LCD circuit board and the K2000 case (see
Figure 3-12). These washers are required because the front of the new LCD
is approximately 2 mm deeper than the old LCD. The exact number of
washers may depend on how compact the foam on the front of the LCD is.

The two screw holes nearest the K2000 keys will be out of alignment by 4 mm.
If necessary, drill two new holes in the K2000 case (lining up with the LCD
holes) using a M2 (2 mm) drill bit. Be careful not to drill right through the
case. Screw in the remaining two screws. Again ensure that washers are used
to fill the gap between the LCD circuit board and the K2000 case.
Figure 3-13: Top LCD mounting screws
3.6. Replacing the Main-boards

• Tape down the ribbon cables over the circuit board and the new LCD – as
they were prior to removing the old LCD. Fold the ribbon cable from the
new LCD at right angles in the same place as the ribbon cable from the old
LCD. This allows the ribbon cable to pass behind and plug into Main-board
1 (see Figure 3-15).
• Gently replace the two Main-boards. Allow the black silicone cables
coming from the CCFL tube to pass between the two Main-boards (the

Instruction Guide
cables are shown in white in Figure 3-14). Ensure that connector (A) from
Figure 2-1 stays underneath the main-boards.
Figure 3-14: CCFL cables between the Main-baords

• Screw down the two main-boards and reconnect all cabling, including the
new LCD’s ribbon cable (see Figure 3-15).
Figure 3-15: LCD Ribbon cable connection to Main-board 1
• Reconnect the earth strap in Figure 3-5.

Instruction Guide
3.7. Installing the Inverter

The inverter can be installed in a number of different places. Probably the best
location is shown in Figure 3-16. Here the inverter is screwed to the K2000
back panel, approximately 400 mm from the fan end.

The nylon bolts provided in the box of components can be used to hold the
inverter in place. This involves drilling right through the back panel using a
M3 (3 mm) drill and countersinking the bolt heads (see Figure 3-17). The
nylon washers are used as spacers to prevent the inverter circuitry, especially
the high voltage output, touching or conduction to the K2000 case.
The bolt heads will be visible from the outside of the K2000. This mounted
inverter can be seen in Figure 3-18 and Figure 3-19.

An alternative to using the Nylon bolts wo uld be to drill thin 1.5 or 2 mm holes
from the inside of the case and use self- tapping screws to hold the inverter in
place. This prevents holes from being seen from the outside of the K2000 case
but care must be taken to ensure the self- tapping screws do not short any
circuitry on the inverter.

3.8. Contrast Adjustment

• Connect the CCFL black silicone wiring and the inverter together at
connector (B) (from Figure 2-1).
• Plug the Fan Kit wiring to Main-board 2 (see Figure 3-1).
• Plug the inverter to the Fan Kit wiring by connecting the Hard Drive plug &
socket (see Figure 3-19: lower right hand side).
The K2000 is now ready to be powered up!
• Connect 110VAC mains power and turn the K2000 on. The LCD should be
glowing a bright blue but most likely will not be displaying anything. This
is because the displays contrast needs adjustment.
• Raise the K2000 slightly so the display is visible.
• Turn the Black trimpot (see Figure 3-20) slightly in either direction until
characters become visible on the LCD. This trimpot adjusts the LCD drive
voltage (VEE in Table 4-1) and works in addition to the software
CONTRAST parameter in the K2000.
The software CONTRAST parameter should currently be zero, since the K2000
has just come out of a hard reset due to the batteries being disconnected.
Figure 3-20: Contrast adjusting trimpot

• Turn off the K2000 and unplug the 110 VAC mains power.
• Screw the back panel back onto the K2000
The upgrade is now finished!
