Hi, it's my first post in this forum, although I often found solutions here googling.
I I am going solar and need a low energy monitor. I plan to reuse some LCD screen from broken laptops, as they are low consumption.
I will buy, or find some VGA controller board, in order to use them as monitor, but I first need to test their backlight/inverter.
The 2 inverters I looked at (from acer aspire 3100 and 5100) have 7 pins at their connector to mobo.
I found:
- 2 pins to ground
- 2 pins to Vin (12V I guess, OK for me)
- 1 pin for enable
- 1 pin for dimm adjust
- 1 pin more is connected on the board, but I am not able to recognize it (no schematic found). What is it for (input, output?), and what should I do with it ?
Thanks so much.
