some Meter Backlighting i did


Yep, the 5050s. I couldn't remember that they're cut every 3. The 3528s are every 9.
the numbers have to do with the chip size. The 5050's are the larger, brighter LEDs.

I just bought a 5 meter strip of these for under my kitchen cupboards, I might have to cut off a few sections for my bases.

did you use a section per meter, or are you illuminating both meters with 3 LEDs?
 
You wont be able to use those kind of led strips for the buttons, they get yellowish from age and/or smoking cigs in the house. Off the top of my head there's 6-8 3mm's in there then a couple 5mm in the display, some models they need to be heavily modded for color change. Do alot of research (eb*y has new buttons)

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
