Hello everyone, after using the search function and reading through different posts, I was not able to find any useful information. I happen to have an old Dell XPS 9343 with a QHD display (3200x1800), which I would like to reuse. I was able to disassemble the notebook just fine, but have hit a snag: The LCD is glues to the body, of the lid. So I do wonder if I really have to remove it, given that Dell seems to be using a 40 pin eDP connector. Is there a way to use that one, instead of having to open up everything? The screen supports touch, but I don’t really care nor need it. So just getting the display running would be great. Also it, seems that the driver boards will usually just support FHD resolutions and do not go beyond that resolution? Any pointers as to what I could to to be able to recycle that display would be much appreciated.

@farhad said in Unsure of which LCD controller board to buy: SU6C12H10AS01X Can you post pictures from the backside of the LCD panel. Make sure all labels are readable. If I google for SU6C12H10AS01X I only get info about the Toughbook, nothing about the LCD panel.

@joern this sounds like a corrupt SD card. the memory technology is write once. when writing again the prior bits are marked as used. problem, the file system does not know, and there is no signal of full… so then it ‘thinks’ it wrote out data but it didn’t. the only fix is a new card. maybe you can read some older stuff off.

@sdetweil indeed, I thought about a take out of the backsite of the frame, too. Or two layers of frame with a slimmer one on behind the first layer. So that the mirror cannot fall out tonthe front. The lips have the same function and thats a good idea. Have to build a new frame, because the current/old one is exactly sized for the 24". Regards.

@laurafox08 yes, those should be fine. no real cpu hogs there. still shorter on memory, so make a bigger swap file like pi3.

Ok, I use Google assistant v3 on MM as a media player with Hifiberry DAC i have Spotify as well as a web radio and now mp3 from USB all I do is ask GAv3 to play something on Spotify by “Jarvis… ACDC on Spotify” and it starts playing now for radio I ask “Jarvis… Radio rewind FM” and it starts playing radio station it a bit to set up but works well

@bobdabuilder here is two different dial boot methods https://au.pcmag.com/linux/89550/how-to-install-linux-on-your-chromebook

@nlq_truc Check the resolution compatibility of your monitor. And change your raspberry pi resolution accordingly.

@reniwqwil5 we don’t support PS4 stuff here

@sdetweil the installation of the mm is not that hard, but the configuration from all the modules was kind of :/ especially I had rewritten something ^^ I’m trying to get it with an ssd to work, so I don’t have this problem anymore. I will test your script anyways, thank you!

@ankonaskiff17 It’s connected via HDMI with the Raspberry Pi 4.

@chef little late to the game but this --> https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10793/mmm-pir-sensor-with-radar-sensor-rcwl-0516?_=1632660798481

Open that topic to let other know which sensor doesn´t work behind the mirror. I have tested this one, because its says mirror sensor, guess what it didn´t: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005001669692924.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3e7f4c4dlPDnLc Please share your expierence

@vongomben I personally think you will end up with an ugly rectangle hole where the monitor is compared to the real mirror surface

@animeman0 there’s too many variables to give you an answer as it depends on there following: is there an angle difference between the monitor and glass across the whole monitor space? What is the lighting like in the area? Where is the lighting in the area? What about natural light in the area? The only wait to know for certain is for you to try it, can you try it without removing the protective film?

The magic mirror is find when I use it with TV monitor through hdmi cable. But when I use vga monitor to make the real mirror and I use hdmi-vga cable. The screen turn on and I can see the desktop. When it start mm, I can see it works for a few seconds, after that the screen is black and the power supply led turn off and on continuosly. Please help me solve this.

@cowboysdude https://letyshops.com/r/aliexpress-ww-97c9f222e4cc I got it from this seller on AliExpress as I found it to be the cheapest

I have a similar setup. Here is a link to my thread: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/14048/borderless-bathroom-mirror?_=1630345450317
