Hello,
I've opened the casing of my 17-inch VGA LCD screen to check out whether I can replace the driver board. I want to connect the screen to my Raspberry Pi but the Raspberry does not output VGA, only composite and HDMI (and thus DVI-D). Now I could buy a HDMI to VGA converter off ebay, but I prefer doing this by myself, it would also be a good practice.
So here are some pictures:
That's the main data connector to the screen, I think.
Inverter cables? I don't know anything about LCD's, but I think i've read these are connected to the inverter.
The driver circuitry. Right-top: the "inverter", connected to the cables shown in picture 2. Right-bottom: Connector for power, VGA and audio. Square board in the middle: main driver board. Top-left corner board: buttons (on-off switch, brightness control etc.)
Now, if you need some additional information, I shall be pleased to give it.
Regards,
Lukas (Dutch, please excuse my horrid English).
