another advantage is the new power supply for the monitor - you do not need a 220V input anymore. I can use now a 12V power adapter with a slim cable to the controller board…

RE: My 1st MM Project as a noob.... 1,2m x 0,6m with 22" display
Yes - it was a 22" fujitsu monitor and I found a Samsung display in there… I ordered a “HDMI+DVI+VGA LED LCD 2 CCFL Controller Board Kit for LTM220MT05” for 22€ from china and everything went well with the display. I scrapped all the other controller boards and plastic stuff from the monitor because they were not slim enough…
The mirror was ordered online via https://www.myspiegel.de/spionspiegel-pg-2102.html (easy for me in germany ;-) ) . I have good experiences with the company and have also a spy mirror from these guys in my sleeping room to hide the TV… -
My 1st MM Project as a noob.... 1,2m x 0,6m with 22" display
HI guys,
I still finished my 1st MM Project. I used a 22" display with a new chinese controller. The system is powered by a WLAN socket wich can be also powerdes via a buttor an the frame (I modified the socket to get the ability).
Content of the mirror:- Clock
- Google calendar
- Globe
- Newsfeed
- Wunderground weather
- Word Clock
My target was to have a very slim framework - I realised it with a wooden frame and alumnium profiles which cover the side of the mirror. the complete depth is now 24mm for the frame and 8mm for the mirror.
Really happy to have it done and get a new highlight in the entree… ;-)

RE: Blank screen - noob needs support
I have powered the PI and monitor via a wlan socket which can be switched on/off - could this cause the problem?

RE: Blank screen - noob needs support
Problem solved - I installed an other SD Card with the backup of MM and everything is working fine again… but I do not know what happened before. So I will have a backup in the desk if something will appear in near future ;-)
