How to power LEDs in a Touchtunes Allegro jukebox?

Nice! I'm still waiting on a bill acceptor bezel to arrive and white LEDs to put behind the bottom poster. I did find though that my Elo monitor has a pretty noticeable vertical screen burn on the left side of the screen. If you look at my video (link below) around the 17 second mark when the screensaver kicks on, you can kind of see it when there is a dark image being displayed (it's more noticeable in person than what the camera picked up).
You said replacing the monitor with a non-touch 4:3 monitor is pretty easy? I've only replaced a smart phone screen once before, years ago. Is it similar to that process, in keeping the digitizer for the touch function and slapping a same-sized 4:3 monitor behind the digitizer? I'm a total noob with that stuff.
lilshawn:
no, no... i meant that I buy up 4:3 19 inch monitors when i come across them and pull the LCD panels out and use them to swap dead/dying/damaged panels in these things. about 90% of the panels are all cross compatible with each other. and can be easily swapped.
most panels will just screw right in, and hook right up to the ELO's electronics and backlilgt inverter with zero modifications.
the other 10% end up being weird extra thick panels that won't physically fit in the ELO case... which are no good
or will be a panel that has 2 CCFL's or LED backlit panel backlighting and arent compatible with the 4 lamp inverter out the box without swapping the invertor with a 2 lamp style or a compatible LED driver.
but like i says, 90% of the time they just drop in.
this works becasue the front bezel contains the touch overlay as a separate unit. and is not bonded or otherwise attached to the LCD panel itself.

those neopixel/IARGB strips actually look really great in there. I think I'll grab some of those next time instead of the all same RGB color shifting ones.
what software are you running on there? is that just YouTube music?

Thanks! I thought the current color scheme is a little busy but the lights come with an app that I can use to calm it down a bit. Yeah, it's just YouTube Music in kiosk mode. I thought about a few different options but this thing will likely end up going in an Airbnb so I figured it would get more use if people can just play whatever. Also adding a few touch screen games like Fruit Ninja, Candy Crush, some casino slots, etc. Why not lol
