Hi to everyone, i'm XarlyX And I Need Help With A LCD

Hi.

 

I'm new to this comunity, i hope to fit well here.

 

The reason i sing up to this comunity is that:

 

Few weeks ago i unscrewed a Lexmark x3350 printer for salvaging lot of cool stuff,like a 10-pin LCD display, found at the control pannel of the printer.

i took the PCB and disolder the screen carefully. behind the LCD, in the PCB the're wasn't any IC or SMD, only a few resistors so i thank: Could i use it with my Arduino UNO?.

 

I searched in the internet but i havn't found any specs or any class of information, so... Could you help me please? at the moment i only want to know how it works and the pinout for printing at the screen a kind of "Hello World", only that. so Thanks so much for reading my first post

    The numbers we are interested in are likely under the black plastic. Anyway to get in there without hurting the LCD?

    OK, so the battle was lost but the war continues, use this as a learning task  on soldering and research. I think if you reflect on this you will see you will have learned a few things along the way

     

    next time you should be better prepared, try again to do the soldering on the remaining pins and see if you can do it without more damage, you will get better over time and with practice.
