This video is a step-by-step walkthrough of the installation of the Hive Mind TR-505/TR-626 Backlight Kit, which helps to make those drum machines with the dark screen usable again.
SPECIAL NOTE! You do NOT need to remove the backing sticker if your display is not dark. If you have a clean display, just remove the serial number sticker that may be on the back of the LCD panel.
