Hello kereoz,

sorry if I reply so late.
When I start the compute with the new screen it just shows up all white and I see nothing on it. On the background the operating system (Linux) starts. Xorg doesn't start automatically but the high resolution concole (KMS) does, and still I see all white.

I haven't seen a reversed pin order on LCD connectors yet. All appear to follow the same scheme (starting from pin 1): - supply voltages and ground - EDID signals and clock (on 30-pin LCDs only) - LVDS video signals and clock - spare pins Well, I noticed a little difference: on my adapters the EDID...

Thank you for your reply. I own a 30pin-to-20pin adapter from pchub. I actually own two: a straight one and a bent one, as when I bought them I was confident one of them would have worked but I didn't know which one fit better. It turned out none of them works. I just tested with a multimeter and th...

I really can't find the data sheet, but I'll try to understand if the wiring is reversed and let you know.
Thank you for the hint!

Well, bad news: it didn't work. As I turn on the computer the LCD panel turns all white and nothing is displayed. I think I won't have a lot of time to dig in it in the future, I think I'll just use that SXGA+ panel for something else or eventually sell it on ebay. It has been a little delusion anyw...

What an interesting thread, I'm trying to do the very same thing! I own a Thinkpad X60s with a 12.1'' XGA (1024x768) CCFL LCD panel and I've recently got a brand new 12.1'' SXGA+ (1400x1050) LCD panel made by Toshiba (model LTD121KM2M, you'll easily find some specs by googling this code). I'd love t...
