    • Remove the display cable carefully. It is very thin and this particular one had some clear tape holding the cable to the panel. Remove it if it is present and disconnect the cable

    • LCD panel all separated from the laptop.

    • Here is the universal driver board. It also includes a separate PCB for the menu button. The cable is 40cm long and will allow for multiple choices for a custom case

    • Here is the only shortcoming of this kit as far as I can see it. The menu buttons are on the same side as the cable connector, it will get in the way of placing it in a case. Some re-soldering may be necessary

    • All it takes to connect the driver kit to the LCD panel is to plug it in. The connector is a perfect fit.

    • This kit offers HDMI, DVI and VGA input. I opted for the VGA for testing purpose

  10. Universal LCD driver Technique: passo 10, immagine 1 di 2 Universal LCD driver Technique: passo 10, immagine 2 di 2
    • The LCD driver requires 12Volt to work, I used a spare 12V 1.4A switching power supply. the LCD fired right up and displayed a crisp image.

    • Only shortcoming on this kit, the push buttons for the menus are in the same direction as the cable connector. Otherwise this kit definitely exceeded my expectation.

    so i bought a lcd controller board turns on fine the only problem is that is shows 4 squares with the same images

Conclusione

Now its time to think about a case for the monitor. Great little project for a rainy day and it does save another LCD panel from the landfill.

Hello, Nice work…i have v56 universal board with LP154WX4 (TL) (C1) ..after the firmware is installed …i just get very light blue color display…not able to figure out the problem ? can you please suggest….?

Another issue, if it’s like mine, is that the color accuracy (and bit depth?) isn’t too good. I used an LCD out of a top-end 2008 Macbook Pro, so I know the color should be better than it is.

does the board support 14’’ lcd screens?

that will depend on which board you have and if it is listed as supporting your monitor. The trick here is to match the monitor with a driver board. Always verify this with he vendor.

Same here. In my case I have a pile of LCDs but the problem is most of them are the older type are CCFL backlit.

Unfortunately there aren’t that many applications for a CCFL VGA 14.1” panel but anyone who does come up with one please message me “darnstadium

@oldturkey03 - Noting the shortcoming you mentioned, I have an idea for you. It looks to me like the connector is simply a straight line of pins, in a through-hole configuration. I'm thinking you could desolder the connector from the board, flip it 180 degrees and resolder it on the other side. In a single line connector the pins will still be in the same position, only now mounted on the back side, which is what you were hoping for in the first place. Hope that works for you!

@dadibrokeit yes it was actually fairly simple to adjust it for my needs. Luckily the maker of that kit had subsequently made revision to the button bar as well :-)
