Replacing Failed LED Back Lights on a M&S DMC 3-4 Display Screen
The single most common problem with all M&S Systems DMC 3-4 - DMC1 and NuTone NM100 - NM200 Intercom Master Stations are the failure of the LED's that provide the back light for the display screen.
This problem makes the information on the display almost impossible to read.
In this Video I show how these look when they have failed - how to replace the LED's and how they look when they are working correctly

The NuTone Model IS515 Selective Call Intercom remote stations are used with NuTone Models IM5006 and IM5000 Selective Call Intercom Systems.
The IS515's share the same basic design as NuTone Models IS518 inside Remote Stations, IS519 outdoor Patio Stations, IC502 inside Remote Controls and the IC502LW outdoor Remote Control
Due to the design of the IM5006 and IM5000 intercom Systems, the Remote Stations are often considered to be equal to the Master Station in their operation and complexity.
Each Remote Station has it's own individual Power Supply and Amplifier (which is the reason for the "white noise" you hear at every station) along with the necessary circuits which allow the Selective Call features to connect to other stations and the system.
The Remote Stations use a complex hybrid 2-sided circuit board design which uses both through hole components and tiny surface mounted components.
Troubleshooting and working on these boards can be tricky and time consuming.
Since the earliest models of these Selective Call Stations (1991) are now 26 years old, we are starting to see some typical "age related" problems with them
This Video is an Overview of the NuTone IS515

PART 3 - After a visit to our local Automotive Paint Supplier - I review what I can back with.
Front Door Entry Intercom Stations are one of the most needed items for NuTone Intercom Systems.
NuTone discontinued all Intercom equipment almost 1 years ago and there are almost no Entry Door Stations available.
In this Video, we are starting a project to see what it will take to refinish and refurbish original NuTone IS 69 Entry Door Stations
