TP701CS -> C (i.e going active TFT)

#1 Post by my03 » Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:08 am

Hi fellow forumers,

i know there are threads here touching upon this subject, but i haven't really found an exhaustive answer to the following question:

I now know that the bezel of the CS vs the C do differ (slim top, tall bottom <> opposite). Also, one thread (afaics) says that there might be even a third option available (FRU-wise).

But my question is basically: would it be possible to swap the passive tft (Sharp branded in my case) to an active TFT dito without swapping the bezel? What is the difference between them that forces you (?) to also use the "C" bezel with the active panel? Different PCB/electronics in the bottom of the lcd assembly?
