I bought this LCD and it works except the LED backlight.
It´s a 5v light.
I removed the HV inverter and took the 5v direct to the
backlight,but I believe it´s to heavy load for the 5v PSU
It consumes 260mA and the EIII won´t booth up,
and  the PSU is calibrated to 5.05v.

Anyone have a tip what to do to solve this?

ok.
when looking closer at the datasheet I saw the backlight needed 4.2v
took down the 5.05v to 4.2 with a resistor and now it works fine.
So that was the reason it didn´t boot.

 A guy here in sweden is selling these cheap(half the price of a foil backlight) so let me know if you need any.
