So I finally traded my nord electro in for a nord stage ex second hand, after eight years of dreaming about owning one, and it is amazing!!! It's only fauly was an LCD screen that didn't light up. I rang the distributor before purchase and he said replacing it wouldn't be a problem and would only cost £25.
So imagine my consternation when after disassembling the nord stage, replacing the LCD and reassembling it there are no lights, no power!!! After 2 hours of fiddlings around with ribbon connections I came downstairs to my wife a broken man.
A hour later I decided I'd have another go, cos there was no way I could afford to send it off to get fixed. As it turns out, I hadn't pushed the tiny ribbon connector on the LCD screen in hard enough. OMG, it's alive again. Phew!! The ribbon connector is really flimsy and a bugger to push in, particularly with my fat fingers.
So to replace the LCD screen.
1. Remove the screws from the wood end cheeks, the rear red panel and underneath the piano at the back.
2. Be careful when lifting off the lid as there are two ribbon connectors. Unclip these to seperate the top panel from the main keyboard.
3. Pull off the level and organ rotar drive rotary knobs.
4. Unscrew the electronic board that holds the LCD. Use long nose plyers to squeeze the plastic rivets that hold the LCD to the board.
5. Pull out the LCD from the ribbon connection and put in the new LCD. It is quite fiddlely job as the ribbon connector is flimsy and keeps buckling as you push it. Push it in so almost all the blue ribbon disappears. (That's where I went wrong!)
6. Reassemble. (Don't forget the plastic rivets!)
Good luck!

Re: Replacing faulty LCD screen - fixed!!
Does anyone know the part number or manufacturer information for the LCD on the Nord Stage 2?

Re: Replacing faulty LCD screen - fixed!!
Proprietary Nord part. If you pull the unit, websearch the maker with part number and inquire directly to them, they will tell you that it is not available for sale and hook you up with Nord. People in Canada and the USA can contact me directly via my regular work contacts as shown below for ordering information in those countries.

Hi All, where can I get a replacement LCD screen in Australia? Nord Stage 2 SW73. A beer thrown on it at a loose gig... Not happy.

Re: Replacing faulty LCD screen - fixed!!
Same problem but 8 years later, on a NE5D73.
Hi all,
I am going to replace the display. My NE5D73 is opened and I pulled off all the knobs to separate the board from the top to access the display. But... I don't know how to take the drawbars knobs away. If, from one hand, all the others knobs slip off almost by themselves, those of the drawbars are very, very hard and I am not forcing them because, clearly, I do not know how they are fixed. Any idea about how to pull them off? Thanks.

For the drawbars, have a look into that video:

Maybe you can get them off with a good fork or the like.

Very useful hint. In the end I replaced the display and everything now is brand new.
Just to try to make this post somehow useful, the original display was barely readable in total darkness. Once decided to change it by myself (although I am not so skilled in electronics), I contacted the Nord distributor in Italy (the only one selling the spare part) and in some days I had the display at home. Then, I opened the keyboard (quite easy if you know the screws to loose; you can find everything in Youtube), I took away the knobs and make the board containing the display free. Up to now, everything bearable. But... changing the display required some skill and tools not for me; you need to break plastic pins of the old display, you need specific pliers to open the connector to change the display and youi need a welder to melt the plastic pins of the new display to fix it firmly. I asked a friend for a help.
In the end... 40 euros and a beer for my helping friend .
