Need LCD controller board for old iMac display.

[SubTract]

Hi guys,

 

I recently got an old (late 2012) iMac. Now the actual computer itself is toast. But the display is fine. I was hoping to turn the display into a monitor.

 

The problem is I can't find an LCD controller for this particular LCD anywhere. It is an LG display LM270WQ1-SDF1.

 

From what I can gather, I can find controllers for the SDA1 - SDE3 varients. The SDF1 seems to use edp instead of lvds, I can find a controller that seemingly does the correct resolution and refresh rate but I can't find anything that will do the backlight As well. 

 

The screen uses a molex 504051-0601 connector for the LED backlighting.

 

Does anyone have any idea on where I can find a controller board with a DP, HDMI or DVI connector on it for this screen, that has a backlight connector. Or is there some other way I can control the backlight separately?

 

Otherwise at this point any other ideas are also welcome.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jacob.

Same here... I have a standalone Yamakasi monitor that gave out (still lasted 7 years though for the fraction of the price of Apple's cinema display). There seems to be boards for all the other versions of the LM2701Q1 series! I have been searching off and on for a month, and like you, have been reading into monitor display tech to see if there is some other generic board I could use, but haven't found anything with confidence that would work. Monitor control boards is such an esoteric subject. I don't know where to go for asking questions. If only there was someway to ask LG for a board!? So frustrating. The only google hit that I found is this no longer available board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32879208195.html
