Hi everybody !
A few weeks ago, i got a broken laptop from my uncle, which is not covered by the warranty anymore.
The laptop is a FZ250, and i have sold a few parts from it.
But since no one needs the screen, i want to take it my self and make a second monitor out of it. :yepp:
I know its crazy, and maybe dangerous, but i belive it is possible :D
I have allready stripped down the laptop, and the screen itself has 2 connectors, one that goes to an current inversor, and from the inversor 2 cables to the screen. And there is another connector (for signal) which is a flat cable with about 19-20 pins per side, a total of 38-40 connectors, they are damm small and its very hard to count them.
But then the cable, becomes sort of a ribbon cable with 11 wires (exact), 4 pairs of yellow blue cables, and the 3 last ones are, pink, redish orange and black.
Now i would like to know if someone has the pin out for this cables, and how they go connected to a DVI or VGA port.
For the other side, how should i feed the screen, using the inversor and a direct current supply, or take out the inversor and use straight alternate current, whats the voltage for this type of screens?
All help is very welcome :up:

hi there,

that's a pretty neat idea. i have a dead notebook lying around and now i'm kinda interested in disassembling the tft panel as well :D

did a quick search and found the following:

if you still have the notebook's motherboard i'd take a look at it and the ICs that are directly connected with the tft panel. searching the ICs identification may help finding proper components and connection schemes.

maybe it'll help. i'll look more deeply into this later.

Any way, the motherboard was throw to dump, so i don't know what are the precise parts. =(
