Probably by replacing it with a newer led backlight panel.

If that's the problem i guess i'll have to. It's just so weird that it broke just when i had applied the video fix.

If you take an extremely bright light and look closely on the screen while taking the contrast to both its ends, do you see any movement? Something underneath showing its actually working and that it's just light that's gone!

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it after i replace the fuse

Looks like you tried new batteries. Did you try a full cap swap?

Yea, i mentioned it in my story... XD

And can that be fixed, or am i screwed?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Short lived GT video fix]

Hi guys!

I've had my PCE-GT for a few years now, and the display just took longer and longer to be visible. So thought i'd apply the video fix and replace the 4.7uF 35V cap. After the fix my screen was visible in no time...the fix had worked and i was soooo happy But after 2 days the screen went black while playing...the brightness dial wasn't working and the only way to see anything was to tilt the GT. So i figured what the hell, and ordered all the other caps for a total replacement. I did a total cap replacement this weekend, and it did fix my sound...it's a LOT louder But the still the same display problem...

Does anyone have a idea what i could check or do to fix this issue? I've searched the forums but did not find anything that could indicate what was wrong. (and yes, i did try with a adapter and fresh batteries  )


Oh, i did blow my GT fuse while trying to figure it out myself... lol XD Gotta buy a new fuse and then i can try you're idea's.
