Finally got my Enterprise PADD to light up!!

Last year I bought an Enterprise PADD kit from MM, which consisted of a gutted light panel and all the greeblies to make a static PADD.

Last week I found a LightPanel on the belgian eBay site . There was only one problem with it: it worked on the adapter but not on batteries. Which couldn't be more than a loose connection or something like that, so I bought it for 25 euros shipped.

Last night I disassembled the light panel to find that one of the battery wires was corroded thanks to a leaking battery, so I replaced it and tested the panel and it worked!
So Iplaced the electronics in my Enterprise PADD which Connor Trinneer sighned last year, and made a new screengraphic on transparency-film, and here's the result:

The picture doesn't do the PADD justice in real life the ghrapic is a lot clearer.
 
Looks great!

The one thing I don't like about the Cabin light panels is the frosted plexi. I know it's what was used and is accurate but it subdues the graphics. I was lucky to get a nice glossy replacement lens from a run on another board, really makes the piece "shine".
