Wayne, If there are no stripes - REMOVE nothing from either the diffuser or the LCD display. The white tape/paper never should come off the backlight assembly.
After you finish all the soldering, and before putting the front panel on, remove the thin clear plastic film from the front of the LCD. You can usually scrape up a bit of the corner with a fingernail - if you prefer to use a tool, be careful not to scrape the hard plastic (glasslike) LCD front surface. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > > I am building K2 04858 and have arrived at the display > installation in the front panel.
