I am trying to find out if it is possible/best way to do a couple things.
1. Duplicate an LCD to another LCD
2. Decode the signal going into the lcd to extract the data and go into a Raspberry Pi to have a web interface to see pretty much what the LCD is displaying.
Thanks in advance!

I dropped my JAM and now my screen is cracked. I want to replace it but don't know how. Has anyone done this before?
I'm doing it, ten times a week... fortunately, those PDA are not mine . What are you interesting in?
So, if you see black spots on image, or no image at all - you have broken LCD, so, you need spare display assembly. If your image is clear, but you see crack on glass and system does not recognize your taps properly - you need only touchscreen to replace - it's much cheaper, however, you need some soldering experience to do it successfuly.
Please note, there are two different kind of displays on Magician. To recognize, you need to open your PDA and see label on the back of display (not a PDA case).
Then you can order right part and when it will arrive - open your PDA, disconnect and remove display and then change touchscreen, or whole display assembly.
It's not a rocket science, however, if you are not experienced with electronic devices at all, it's better to find a buddy, who is more experienced and can do a repair.
Yeah, from your description, it looks like I need to replace the touch screen. Are there different types of touch screens? Anyway, I've soldered before (but a long long time ago). I'm sure I can pick it up again, but I guess I just want to know what tools I need. Do I need to buy a?:
soldering iron
solder
special screw driver to open JAM
etc.?
just wanted to now if any one knows if it possible to plug a play station 2 into the ameo so i can use it as a screen this is the last thing on my list to complete my in car system.
ameo has video out not video in
why not just buy a cheapo lcd screen?
re:
thanks for that are you saying then that it can't be done
so far the only program i know that allows you to put something on the ameo's screen is pocket tablet...and that's through activesync via bluetooth or cable....and the input is from a laptop or computer....and that only allows you to see a fraction of your pc screen on the ameo's... which means it could be possible but think of all the trouble of hooking all that up together. spacecat's advice makes sense and your life easier...you can buy cheap lcd screens to hook up a playstation.
on that note, assuming that you could install a ps into the ameo...i'm not sure if the graphics would hold =)
RE:
thank for your input my mate is on the case getting me a lcd screen
good point about the graphics.
Hey guys, I'd appreciate your input on this idea.
I have a G1 that was run over by a car. The screen is, of course, completely broken, but the rest of the hardware works properly (charges, adb, etc.).
I also have an old Asus S5n laptop with an awesomely thin lcd display, but with a fried video card.
I have relatively no experience with laptop or phone internals, so here is my question:
How plausible would it be to build a G1-powered tablet using the provided hardware along with a touch panel kit and perhaps a modified android kernel?
getting the Asus screen to display the output of the G1 phone will be a miracle and if it is done...ur probable half way there.
good luck with that
Soo... the only ways I can think about going about doing this is getting a proper LVDS driver for the laptop display (quite possible but expensive [$200+]) and then getting the video output from the G1. I'm not sure that's possible but I remember seeing someone somewhere doing that... could be wrong (hopefully).
Even if you were able to do all of that, you would be lacking input as the touchscreen wouldn't really be augment-able.
Either way, good luck with your project1
After my digitizer broke, I purchased a new LCD and digitizer combination. I've got it installed and the new LCD and digitizer seems to be working well enough, it's just the the digitizer doesn't seem to be calibrated properly.
My first question is how would I go about calibrating the digitizer? Is that even possible? My wife also has a Nexus 4 and I've search around her settings and couldn't find anything related to calibrating the touchscreen. I see various things on the web about special numbers to input into the dialer (*#0*# , *#2664#) to test the touchscreen, but those don't seem to work on my wife's Nexus 4.
The second, and more important question I have is when I go to calibrate the screen, how do I get to the calibration software opened on my Nexus 4 since the basically unusable digitizer? I've tried the Android Screencast thing and while it will mirror my phone display, it will not allow me to supply any input. My phone is rooted and I've tried a couple of suggestions from the web, but none of them seem to allow the software to proxy my input from my computer to the phone. I've installed Webkey on the phone through the Play Store, but it seems as though I have to start the software to get it to work. Is there anything I can install that will automatically install and start itself so that I can interact with the phone via my computer?
This whole screen replacement ordeal has been interesting and educational, but I'm ready for it to be over now. Thanks in advance for your help.
I am looking at doing a project where you take the LCD from an Android tablet (I have an old SCH-I905); and add an HDMI input to it so it can be used as a monitor. I have no experience with how I would even get started on this; besides the 3+ days of Googling that resulted in nothing. I would very much appreciate if someone from the community had something to offer! From some research, what I could see that would maybe do the trick is using some sort of LCD controller board.
Thank you.
do yo know how to operate LCD controller of your SCH-I905? i think if you just want to use your device as an external monitor that you can use 3rd software to do it.
I am interested to know if you have found a way
I'm interested on projects like this. I want to put a female hdmi to lcd or the board or something like that, to view on tv, ie: watch videos without using screen mirroring (for older lcd tv's), playing games in real time (without cuts), youtube, and many more things. If anyone knows about it, please let me know.
Best regards
Im also looking for the same thing. I actually wanna find a way to make my old phone into a notebook. My old notebook motherboard has broke, so i wanna try to transform my phone into the notebook itself using the hardware that is left. I'm pretty sure i wont make it, but ita worth the shot.
