[TenTec] 536 Delta II; Lights out.

[Steve Berg]

Something else you ought to do is to replace the electrolytic capacitors 
in the inverter circuit that drives the electroluminiscent backlight 
strip.  I had replaced the backlight several times, and it was seemingly 
bad again.  But, it was intermittent.  I checked the circuit with a 
scope, and it was not oscillating.  The strip was fine.  I replaced 
those capacitors, and it works fine.

The Glowsafe strips work and fit very well.
