Logitech G15 help

[lupi]

Have a problem with my original version G15 keyboard. The lights are either really loose, or going out. They often flicker and even at max output level, in a dark room with nothing but the monitor on it's all but impossible to read the individual keys.

Anyone have experience opening one of these up? Can the "bulb" on these be replaced?

That was my first thought when I found that link lol

Well, since the lights all dim/flicker in unison I can probably assume it's not a problem with all those LEDs now that I know what's under the covers.

You really don't know what's under the covers. The photos are not from the original G15 but from the newer G15 (amber stationary screen, only 6 programmable keys instead of 18). It's far more difficult to disassemble the older model.
