reusing old tablet touch screen

thecass240 · December 18, 2020

Hey,

I'd like to reuse an old tablet screen as a touchscreen monitor.

I've found this lcd driver that according to the seller is compatible with my lcd screen (B101EVN07.0).

I'd also like to use the resistive touch screen. It uses a CT363 touch controller chip which has a 12 pin flex cable output. But all the touch screen to USB controller use 4 - 8 pin connectors.

that lcd controller I linked uses a 12v barrel jack, Ideally I just want one hdmi and one usb cable as an input.

any tips? not afraid of soldering.

Yours says 07.0, but this says 02.0 and 05.0.]

It will probably work, though.

Is the cable joined as 12 pins or is it split into 2 6-pin groups?

I messaged the seller, according to him it'll work just fine. I'd of course rather have one with clearly labelled support but haven't had any luck finding it.

it is joined as 12 pin, but (see image) it seems like only 4 traces are actually data, 4 more are not connected an the rest seem tied together to ground or power. This makes me a bit worried. I was hoping this was just some standard that I could easily find a connector for. Because I really don't have the equipment to solder that small.
