Please Note: This listing is for a back light, not for a sewing machine.Has the LCD display on your sewing machine become so dim that you can no longer read it? If so, it's likely an LCD back light failure. The LCD back light on sewing machines can start to dim after many years of use. These after-market back light kits have been manufactured for sewing machines in which OEM replacement units are no longer available. The Janome MC8000 kit includes a custom installation manual that fully details every step of the replacement procedure. Of course, those who don't feel comfortable with doing the replacement themselves can simply purchase this kit and take it to your local sewing machine repair shop and have them install it for you. Whatever route you choose, once you have replaced the LCD back light in your sewing machine, the display will look new again! Common symptoms: When an LCD back light starts to fail, it will typically be most dim at the center. If your machine has received continued use, after the first signs of back light failure, the LCD back light will often go completely dim. Adjusting the contrast control knob may change the display when turned but typically does not correct the issue. If you are not sure if your machine is suffering from a faulty LCD back light, your local sewing machine repair shop should be able to confirm this for you before placing your order.NO SOLDERING REQUIRED!Included in the kit:Replacement LCD Back LightCustom Installation Manual Thanks for your interest and please contact me if you have any questions!
