One suggestion for anyone salvaging screens: save they laptop lid/case that the lcd is in. That can then serve as a nice case for the monitor you are making. Otherwise making a case can be a pain I've mounted the controller in a plastic project box epoxied to the back or in a larger box that served as the base. Detach the hinges that mount the lid to the main body of the laptop and us them to attach to the base. When I attach the controller to the back of the lid (now monitor case) I make the base out of aluminum stock from the hardware store.

I had a Toshiba Satellite that was about 12 years old and I gutted the case except for the screen and my Pi400 fits in fine along with the lcd board and it works great. There is room to add a hard drive in the case too. I think I just invented the Toshiba/Pi laptop. LOL

Times sure have changed. About 15 years ago I built my own hi def lcd projector. I bought a concept board out of China (had to fib a little and tell them I was doing prototype work to get them to sell me the video card and various cables for use with a few screens I had). The video card was pcie and wildly expensive 😬 cables were custom made for each screen. I had to supply schematics for each screen.. the cables were really cheap. Great video, nice to see people still like to repurpose instead of simply purchasing "box solutions"!

Bought one from a Chinese supplier several years ago. Postal service here in Greece is FUBAR and they almost sent it back. Lucky I contacted the ebay seller and they almost within the hour sent me the tracking info which allowed me to get my package. It came pre configured for my display out of a Toshiba laptop. Only other issue was that it was still programmed for the Chinese language pack. Had to do a calligraphy search for "language" found the info and changed it. Works great! Also has an analog tuner for the EU channels. Built a nice housing out of wood, looks really nice!

I would think it will drive either as the LDC panels typically have a 5-20V input for the LED BL, and it boosts it up to 28-32V. the CFL booster of course can go up to close to 1000V, but both are initially supplied with similar low starting volts. I was not intending to say that the controller actually generated the HV for the CFL

I always thought that given how beefy old laptops were, Raspberry Pi should do its bestest to help users recycle their old laptops. All you need should be an R-Pi, intermediate board for all I/O (screen, keyb, trackpad, CD-ROM, HDD, USB, LAN...), lots of wires & solder and glue. The old useless laptop mobo obviously goes to a drawer labelled "for parts."

As far as the display goes, dell does not actually make the LCD panels but the model number etc on the panel will tell you who did, and to answer your question re the panel, yes it should work, if it is a 1366 x 768 resolution, look at the 3rd video in the series kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3m5o6aFnciWmq8 for more details on finding the controller for you.

LOVED this video. I have been wanting to get into doing this for years. I do feel I need to point out that the screen you said was 1024 x 768 is definitely higher res. Easy to tell it wasn't going to be that res considering it's a wide screen. 1024 x 768 is a 4:3 aspect ratio and widescreen monitors are 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 etc. etc. If it indeed only supported a 1024 x 768 resolution, there's no way it would show anything on the screen at higher resolutions. It would be WAY out of range and either give you a seizure inducing flicker, or more likely just go black. If you check the resolution on the Pi, it should say what recommended is like windows does.

the connectors to the screens are LVDS (Im not sure of the official name. I get them ready wired for different screens). In the case of these screens, the power is supplied through that one connector, other screens may have different arrangements. the power to the board is from a standard 12V wall adapter (rated at a few amps or more), you need to ensure that the board is jumpered correctly for the volts needed for your LCD. it could be 3.3V, 5V or 12V even. check the specifications before powering up

If you have good replacement screen that otherwise mechanically fits except for the connector placement; Perhaps you could source a small extension or even just a longer twisted-pair replacement not too unlike the one that came with your device. Granted, I'm not sure what kind of tolerances the differential signaling could tolerate, I presume a few (cm) wouldn't be a problem provided all pairs were extended the same distance. Though in many cases I don't know if even this would be worth it, but perhaps interesting to try.

Nice video! Very informative. Though one correction: the N156BGE-L21 panel at 8:14 is 1366*768, not 1024*768, this can be easily seen simply by the dimensions of the panel. I've never seen a 4:3 aspect ratio 15.6" panel by the way. 15.4 are usually 16x10 and all the 15.6" ones I've come across are 16x9. If it operated at 1024*768 that is usually a sign of missing graphics drivers on the device it was connected to. I myself came to this video in search of a converter board from lvds to 2 or 4 channel mipi, which would allow a direct connection to mipi dsi interface of SBC's like the rpi4, but no luck so far!

Great video and the topic but I’m missing details about the signalling/protocol. Also if the chip is scaling the input to the panel, is it feeding back the native resolution to the source making it possible to select? I tried different resolutions panels with the TTL output but could not find details on how to adjust the resolution. The TTL being “dumb” it has to be done in the chip itself I believe. Anyway, thanks for this one. I’m interested more in LVDS than TTL.

I bought the same board here and the controller only works when the LVDS cable is unplugged from the board. Kind of defeats the purpose. Is there also a way to get audio from this board?

Can you let me know the model of LCD display, the link to the board you purchased, and how you know the board works without the display plugged in?, ill try and help. Re the audio, I dont think this board supports it, if you watch my second video I look at some other boards and the one there does support stereo audio and can drive speakers directly kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3m5o6aFnciWmq8

When you say transformer, I assume you mean the power brick?, you do need some kind of power supply, there are no micro controllers or SBC's I'm aware of with enough excess power to supply a bigger display and its back light., (Mainly the backlight)

@@sdmilliken ah, so that depends on the panel you have, if yours is an LED back light then no, if it is a CCFL that's cold cathode fluorescent... then perhaps, if your extracted panel does not include the inverter as a separate unit then yes, some times you can reuse the old ones but I think it may be easier for most to just get the ones that work with the controller, that way when the screen goes off, so does the battery light, hope that helps

Hoping it will work with my Acer ASPIRE 5745-7247 screen, it's 40 pin and 1366 * 768, I couldn't figure out more specs though.

There’s a few hp touchscreen laptops that take a $50 screen with digitizer built in and connect ONLY through a normal 30 (or 40 - I can’t remember) pin laptop lcd connector. I will get models and wonder if they would work. Any ideas? Anyone familiar with these? I’m NOT talking about the ones with a glued on digitizer with its own control board or the ones that sit behind a separate digitizer.

@TheBreadboardca
@TheBreadboardca 4 жыл бұрын
You should aim for 2A or more, this depends mostly on how much current the backlight / CFL will draw (The actual screen does not draw much current in relation to the backlights), but a typical 12V 5A supply will take care of most situations, I would be careful of using 24V as the onboard regulators or circuits may not like it and you could fry everything. if the controller does not say it can take 24V then dont. this does not mean you cant use a 24V primary supply and add a buck convertor to bring it down to 12V efficiently,

you can get sound from the a/v jack on the PI, you may have to adjust the configuration file to enable it., if the adapter you are using for the old laptop screen has an audio output, this would be a better choice, the PI does also output audio over the HDMI by default.

I have a need to run 30 screens, each screen with a different image determined by a single program. I am very noob and wondering how to design this architecture. My guess is that I need 30 separate screens (duh) and 30 display driver boards but instead of running a raspberry pi for each screen I would like to process on 1 machine and distribute. Any tips or ideas on how this needs to work? I can't think of a processor with 30 hdmi outputs. Is there another way to think about this?

the display is pretty much the same as the ones I used on the video, 1366x768 and should work with any of the controllers I showed in this and the later video, the trick is to ensure the cable is correct, single channel 6 bit 40 pin lvds. the connector at the controller end in my case is 30 pin (2X15), but controllers also sometimes have a flat direct connect cable too and this could be 50 pin. do you have a link to the board you are considering, if so reply to me with the link
