Hi dear DIYers,
I own a Korg Zero8 digital mixer which is quite a powerful and unique product.
It was an attempt from Korg to offer an affordable DJ mixer with an internal firewire soundcard, paired with an audio/midi mixer with selectable type EQs, 2 external AUX for FX and an integrated Kaos Pad style touchscreen.
It's great really! I'm still using it a lot to mix with NI Traktor, but the touchscreen digitizer have been faulty on those units from the get go. And Korg dismissed them without any upgrade or fixup solution. They fry like disposable media.
I bought the last 2 touch screen, but they hold like 3-6 months even with a good cooling fan next to it. Not sure why they fail. I replaced them already 5 times.
I think I'm done with this joke, it's frustrating and since there's no longer replacement parts, I was thinking about replacing the whole screen+touch-pannel assembly with a modern LCD solution of the same size and that would be easily compatible. I have the service manual available. Download Korg ZERO8 Service Manual | ManualsLib
I don't know where to start with this because I have absolutely zero knowledge about LCD screens, controllers and everything related to touch-screens in general but I have great skills in electronic and software dvpt.
Can someone please help me with documentations, blog articles, or even upgrades tutorials about this subject but for other devices? That would be awesome really!
Thanks for your help in advance
