This is optional, but is does make everything hell of a lot better.

Also, you need a smaller supply since the current draw iss less!

To do so, just crack open the LCD, change the Kitchen-Ligh-like bulb and replace it with LEDs.

There are plenty of sources that detail this step far better than me.

Go and read other the non lazy posters if you can't make out what to do with just the pretty pictures.

Just connect the LEDs to the 5 V supply in series with a 1 W 26 ohm resistor in parallel with the NoaC.
