    I have 5 DLT's, three which have been installed for 10+ years.
    Two of them have flickering backlights. The screen and indicator brightness had been set to 50% and are now reduced to 25%.
    I did set one to 0% but it really turns the DLT into a user unfriendly blank looking thing on the wall.
    So repair the backlight!
    Simple?
    I hope so - I do have a tinkers degree in electronics even though the ESV deemed me not suitable for a contractors license as I was "Technically not skilled" according to the deputy chief inspector.
    I have a few spare DLT's so I can remove one and attempt a repair. I hope I can surprise the deputy chief inspector with my prowess.

    Any hints, short cuts, cheats freebies???

    **Oh, I did have a DLT go haywire causing terrible CBus faults that I thought was a power supply issue. Took a while to track down and the unfortunate DLT was duly dealt with. Its now landfill - or in China being refurbished.

    Hi stu...
    Clipsal still repairs these, $125 bucks each i think, i have had one of my customers repair 12 so far. If you cant go direct to clipsal or one of their reps i can organize it for you.
