Hello guys, I am still looking to revisit this project, mainly because my old display stopped working some time ago (probably issue with some of the cables) and I also finally have some money to play around with projects again (with average income in my country, 200 dollars here are as difficult to earn as 1000 dollars in USA or Canada, so everytime I buy things for the project and they don´t work I get a bit demotivated and set the project aside until I again set aside enough money to spend on my projects).
Last time I revisited the project (some half year ago) I set myself a condition for continuing this project - finding plug n play display that would connect via the onboard eDP and for the touch, would use USB.
Why? I have daily driven the tablet for long enough to find out that using portable display as main tablet display is just a bit painful and it stacks over time. Sometimes it stays on and empties the battery, sometimes it doesn´t turn on when it should, Windows can´t control the brightness so you have to have extra board and buttons for that, the cables are never the correct length and take up a lot of space inside. The cables eventually got somehow damaged and the display started turning off randomly.
I started a topic to consult the compatibility of a display I found - BOE NV110WTM-N61, it would make the size of the tablet larger by up to 1cm, but I think it should work with the board (more here: Alternative screens for FW13 - please add and comment ) and currently I am looking for a digitizer with USB interface. It´s a pretty similar solution to my current (not used anymore) display (link is posted in the parts list for the project) which is basically BOE NV105WAM-N31 with a digitizer panel glued on top of it with USB interface. I would use the BOE NV105WAM-N31 but it has a 50-pin eDP connector. I even have a 40 pin to 50 pin adapter as the board supplied with the BOE NV105WAM-N31 has 40 pin eDP output for a ribbon cable, but the seller of the display wasn´t willing to provide the pinout of the board and second, I don´t know how I would turn the FW mainboard eDP output into a ribbon cable connector. If anyone has ideas how to help with that, I would consider that option as well as my current display already has a touch digitizer with USB interface.
