    Cross post from Reddit sorry. https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicMirror/comments/rw9k0k/convert_touchscreen_from_aio_hp_pc/ Hi, Did a quick search, didn’t find a related post. I have a old HP all in one PC that is also a touchscreen. The screen has no external inputs but was thinking I could somehow directly interface the video and touchscreen with a pie. Is this a viable solution? Appreciate any info links or posts I missed. Love the project! Cracked the case open. Some txt on the back of the panel. THIS TFT COLOR LCD CONTAINS COLD CATHODE FLUORESCENT LAMPS. PLEASE FOLLOW LOCAL ORDINANCES OR REGULATIONS FOR ITS DISPOSAL 1H260WVU1412021138 X09D0000 0020006 VK1727210108A42S019156
  • Slim power board for existing LCD driver

    Took apart a VN247H monitor from ASUS, and to my surprise the LCD driver was actually thin enough to fit inside the picture frame I got. Nice. However, the 230v circuit board is NOT that thin, because it has a few large capacitors and a large heatsink. I got about 18mm of clearance, so I need to be able to power the monitor within those limits. How do I do that? I was hoping externally powering it would be an option, but I see how that’s a problem, as I guess it takes a lot of voltage to power the backlight. Here is a picture of the 9 pins going into the LCD driver, and here is a picture of the LCD driver. Should I just get a new LCD driver and power supply combo? If so, which one should I pick? The monitor is 1920x1080.

    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.

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

    @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!

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