I have a R50p that needed a reflow, I took care of that now it looks like I messed up the video cable somehow
I took the screen assembly off a T42 and plugged it in and it lights, plug in the R50p screen back in and nothing, not even a faint indication of anything. I'm guessing I need a video cable.
let me know what you have.
Thanks

Its been a while since I've worked with a T4x LCD, but I thought that the cable only determined the resolution. If that's the case, then you should still get a picture or at least it would light up. Hopefully you didn't blow a fuse.
