Help me revive my lcd

[tetutigre]

Hi,

first of all this is a great forum !! I've learned soo much by searching and reading. 🙂

Ok, now on with my problem.... I found this 5.6" lcd TFT monitor stored in my home... so I went out and tried it... when I got the video input, the image was not good at all.... so I opened it and played with the ribbon a bit, and that seemed to help the screen, and for a second the picture would be perfect. 🙂 but after trying that for a little while, now there is no video signal at all.... so I am afraid the ribbon cable is broken and I need to replace it.

The ribbon cable says "AWM 2896 80C VW-1 SWCC SHOWA" it is white with blue ends on one side and seems to have around 30 filament ends on each side...

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Ace !!!!

My ribbon cable have the pins on opposite sides - but they have a cable like that there too.

...So there I was, all excited and everything.... until I went and measured my ribbon cable.... it's got 30 pins and its width is 31mm ..... the one they have in the website is 20mm...... 😕 would that still work?

I had a post earlier from somebody from the DIY builder's group website http://host207.ipowerweb.com/~diybuild/catalog/index.php?cPath=31 , but that post was erased... anyway, they have this http://host207.ipowerweb.com/~diybu...id=65&osCsid=de0a702683ecf01d98bc7f17ea924f9b

but they don't look a lot like the cable I have.....

any suggestions ??? Maybe if someone here was willing to sell me one that is not used.... that would be really nice.

Heya buddy darn, ok, hey did you run up a search in the forum? there should be a tonne of threads with this gear in it, i recall seeing some about 4 pages back. There are quite a few places that do the cables , some even give them away for free as samples though i cant remeber their name off hand, run up a search and you will find them forsure.

YES, I have searched.....

I even went to this website, www.digikey.com but when I tried to browse the catalog I didn't have a clue about what to look for... http://www.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Criteria?Ref=314450&Site=US&Cat=30409438

Most of the search results I see are about Lilliput's... and to make it even worse, I can't seem to win any 5'' lcd auction I've bidded on......

I'll just keep hoping ...... 🙄
