X61 display cable to hdmi board
X61 display cable to hdmi board
Hello, I’m trying to connect my x61 display to a raspberry pi. Is there a board that can convert the display cable to hdmi? Does anyone know what the display cable/connector is called? By display cable/connector, i’m referring to the ribbon that comes down from the display and connects to the motherboard (sorry for the lack of technical terms).

Re: X61 display cable to hdmi board
You need a compatible LCD controller board that has DVI or HDMI input. Something like this one, or this one.
Note: contact the seller beforehand before ordering the item. Specify the exact brand and model of your LCD panel to ensure that you receive the correct board.

My problem is I can’t find one with the kind of connector that the ribbon cable has at the end of it. You can see what it looks like:axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 4:49 amYou need a compatible LCD controller board that has DVI or HDMI input. Something like this one, or this one.

Unless I’m thinking about this wrong and the connector on the display ribbon doesn’t matter?

Re: X61 display cable to hdmi board
The LCD controller board in the links I gave already have a cable to connect the X61 LCD to the controller board itself. You don't need the flat LCD cable from the X61.
Unless what you want is a way for the X61 laptop itself to have an HDMI input, so you can keep using the laptop normally while having a way to view the video output from the Raspberry Pi. You could use a USB HDMI capture card like this one, though I don't know if it would work well.

Re: X61 display cable to hdmi board
Ok, awesome. I wasn’t sure what this meant until I actually opened up the screen and realized I could just remove the ribbon from the screen end. I really appreciate your help, thanks!axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 5:49 amThe LCD controller board in the links I gave already have a cable to connect the X61 LCD to the controller board itself.
