one question, which is bothering me: the controller plate has spot for grounding (the plate was connected with the metal body before via this “grounding spot”). Do I need to ground it e.g. with power supply or similar or I can leave the plate ungrounded?

RE: Old LCD PC monitor
Hi,
there is also another challenge:
I would liek to get rid of these metal body. The side you can see shoud me glued to the plastic.What can I put between the curcuit and the plastic? Some small plastik tubes? Wood? Rubber? Should I then glue the boards or better (for the future) screw it to to the “legs”?
How about grounding it? Needed?
Cheers

@tomyboy96 - I have no idea why did I write micro HDMI (maybe I was playing with the micro SD adapter). But thanks for your remark! Adapter ordered (hope it will work). Next update in few days :)

RE: Old LCD PC monitor
small update:
I got the screen up and running (I forgot to switch over from the monitor body a small controll panel), unfortunatelly only via VGA. HDMI is definitely not working.Any idea:
- if I could connect RaPi to the monitor via DVI (micro HDMI DVI)?
- or is there a connector (micro HDMI VGA)?
-> do I need a digital connection (hdmi) or analog (vga)?
For me a good information for today is, I don’t have to buy a new 27 inch LCD panel :D

RE: Old LCD PC monitor
Hi all,
for the start, thanks a lot for you answers!
Rasberry is there, so I wanted to test, if the screen is working. Ta-da! It’s not :(
I had already problems with HDMI (my cat threw the screen down from the piano…) but VGA was always working. Now neither nor. I have Samsung SyncMaster T260HD.
Any idea, what could be the problem? I alreday ordered the mirror (40x60 cm) so if I would like to buy a new screen, it will be expensive…
Cheers

Old LCD PC monitor
Hi all,
I’m starting my journey with the mirror. For the start I have dismantled my old PC monitor and have a question: can I use it? The controller is quite big, so maybe I can remove the steel or should I buy a new controller (if possible)?
Controller:
Plugs:
Thx for your support!
