[Elecraft] K2 Illumination?

[Don Wilhelm]

Frank,

The problem has to do with the light conductivity of the LCD diffuser.
It is possible that one of the thin plastic sheets on the diffuser that 
should not have been removed was actually removed during assembly.

The only correction is to replace the diffuser.  Unfortunately, it is 
below the LCD and inside its pins.  While removing the LCD with its many 
pins may be possible, it is not practical.  If you want to change the 
diffuser, you will have to remove the LCD.  The best (safest) method is 
to cut the LCD pins near the LCD body and remove the pins one at a 
time.   Then remove the diffuser.
Replace both the diffuser and the LCD.

If that is too much pain, you will have to live with it as-is.

73,
