Harvesting an ASUS display panel from a laptop

[LazyEngineer]

I have an old laptop that is no longer functional. I dropped it a few months back and was greeted with a black screen anytime I tried to boot it up. I am not concerned with making the laptop functional again, but I do have some ideas of how I could make use of the display panel. I stripped it down and extracted the panel, but I have hit a road block. There are two connectors leading off from the panel that I am not familiar with (I believe they are 30-pin LVDS connectors, but that is only my best guess). One of them is labeled as a “CMOS cable,” which upon googling the part number did not return much helpful information. I am not sure if these are proprietary connectors made by ASUS either. The connectors are shown in the images attached to this post. If someone could tell me what they are and if there is any way I can adapt them to verify if the panel is still working, that would be appreciated. 

 

Cheers and don’t forget to get you LTT cable ties at lttstore.com!

Proprietary to internal displays There are no adapters to convert to and from those unfortunately. I had a similar Asus laptop, in my case the screen broke but the laptop still worked, and I noticed that connector. There's not much you can do with that sadly. What model was the laptop? Could you take a picture of the whole thing?

Darn, I was worried it might be something proprietary. It is an ASUS Q524UQ 2-in-1. I attached some images of the panel and motherboard

OK thank you. That connector first goes into the inverter board (which is at the bottom of the screen, the green circuit board) and then passes through into the display and requires specific info on each pin. As far as I know it doesn't transmit an analogue display signal, it's a digital signal with some weird blips of data mixed in. Heck, sometimes switching the panels on the same series of laptops doesn't work as intended. Those cables can be quite finnicky.

Maybe this will give you options.
