Hi everybody!! This is my first post. Thanks in advance for all your help and patience. :)
After going through several posts, I decided to post mine. I found this lcd monitor that I had stored a long time ago... It turned out it is an Everfocus 5.6" lcd monitor. But when I connected to a video source, the image was all washed, with horizontal lines going from down on up, and black and white (this is a tft color lcd).
More afraid than determined, I decided to open it up. once opened I found a ribbon cable, than was connected to the input base(controller board?), then behind the lcd screen there were 2 boards: the first one connected to the controller board by the ribbon cable, which in turn was connected to the lcd by another ribbon; and the other connected to what I think is the backlight, and is connected to the provious one by a tiny cable made of thin filaments.
I tried different cables but the picture was always washed up. Then I accidentaly moved the ribbon cable and to my surprise, for a milisecond the image appeared in color and no washing at all!! Only for a milisecond, then everything went back to the washed one.
I thought first that the controller was the faulty part, but now I think it's the ribbon; but of course I have no idea where to find replacement ribbons -or even if that is the problem. Later, after playing with the ribbon a little bit more, the lcd showed some vertical lines in different color shades, but no image.... (did I break it???) :hot:
So now if I move the lcd, it turns all white, then I move it again, it goes black, and so on...... can anyone help me here??? Is the ribbon the problem? Did I break the ribbon, and the whole monitor with it? can it be fixed? can I replace the ribbon? :bawling:
Thanks for your valuable help.

What format is the LCD PAL or NTSC?
Maybe ur putting NTSC into a PAL LCD or vice versa? |

| Thanks for the reply. I am almost positive they are both NTSC. I guess if they weren't nothing would show up. Am I correct? |
