Comment on Where can I find and buy an LCD screen like this thats not crazy expensive?
Cawifre@lemmy.world 23 hours agoOne thing I learned recently is that the protocols for controlling display panels is a bit unstandardized, so if you are replacing the panel in an exisiting device the electronic connections need to speak the same electric language even if the pin arrangement is the same between two different panels.

Yeah i was really hoping i could find one that will just work out the box, but im starting to think it would be better to buy the whole thing new rather than trying to fix it and potentially waste more money into it.

Part of my job is designing products that use this type of display.
Every single one is different, and they only produce them for a few years at a time. Even if the layout and pin count of the fpc is identical, it’s likely that the pinout won’t be.
Unless you have a very good reason to believe that you found the exact same part, I wouldn’t even try plugging a different one in
