Hello,
I've got a question I've researched high and low but can't find a solid answer to. I've got a Roland Juno G synthesizer. They're notorious for failing LCD displays. Mine has failed but it's nearly impossible to find a replacement. Without a display the synth is seriously handicapped. Its not possible to live control with a PC so it def needs some kind of display.
Aside from trying to restore the original LCD, is is possible to somehow either add a "ribbon output" of sorts, similar to a video out to drive an external LCD display? Forgive me if I'm over simplifying a complex request, but many owners of this Synth have tried to find solutions to this common issue without success.
So to summarize, I would like to either add an output to this synth allowing me to connect to an external lcd display similar to what was originally in the synth so it would just be a matter of matching ribbon connections,
OR
I'd like to add some kind of composite output to the juno in place of its failed LCD so I can view the display on a TV or monitor.
Honestly, even if the quality of the display i can get to work is not perfect, it will allow me to use the menus and other features from this synthesizer. I'm not concerned about a screen that fits into the synth and I'm fine with something functional that's not pretty.
The information on the back of the Juno G display is as follows;
5485SGPABNC 0906-4T
V0054850 Rev A
Please also see the included diagram info from Roland.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
