JBC AD2950 Display Backlight Mod

I really like my JBC soldering station, perfect and robous tool. I usually just put the handpiece back to its holder, and after a few minute the station will activate the hibernation mode (no heating). This is a great feature because you don't have to turn on and off the station, but sometimes, for example when your 2 years old daughter start exploring your lab this can be dangerous. If you let the iron in hibernation mode, it is start heating very quickly (5 sec. from room temp.) as soon as you pull the handpiece out of its holder. Fortunately, my daughter dropped down the handpiece in time, and she don't get burned, but this was a terrible mistake as a dad because things could be happen much worse than in my case. The problem is when the soldering station is turned on, you don't get enough visual notification about it. The display are saying "hibernation" of course, but if you tired or you are in hurry, you probably miss it, and you will forget to turn it off....

Sadly, the smile in my face went away as soon as I plugged the keyboard in and started typing on it. Every second or third character was doubled or missed on the screen of my computer. Something was wrong for sure with the keys, this issue is called scattering by the way. Actually I know that before I bought the keyboard and this is why I was bought it. There was nothing left, time to investigate the source of this issue. After a few phillips head screws I got inside the keyboard, and I desoldered some of the failed switches. The switch itself was easily disassemblable, 2 securing on each side. The problem was obvious after I looked inside the switch, corrod...
