  • Guys thank you so much..

    I connected RasPi to old grandma's TV :-) for now.

    I am planning to buy 15''-20'' monitor with HDMI.

    Tnx again this is a great community.

    I knew I saw one.

    The part number should be the same at most e14 outlets, and is listed at NZ $32.48 inc tax.

    Mark, thank very much :-)

     

    Today I was visiting my brother in Belgrade (Serbia) and he gave me his old monitor

    which of course had only VGA but also some mysterious port.

    Later I found out that it is a BNC.

    So now I have to buy RCA-to-BNC adapter (very very cheap) to connect my Pi with "video" cable... image

    I know that screen quality is poor but I'll try that for now.

     

    Mark, I found your adapter at Farnell and I will try to buy it.

    I really appreciate your help.

    tnx again

    Glad I could find it and it might help.

     

    For other readers, there are plenty of LCD monitors that go faulty, and tend to head to the recycling.

    For 99% of them its likely to be the capacitors, which have died, and are easily replaced.

     

    If you have the chance to repurpose something, then for less than NZ$20, a soldering iron, and maybe some solder wick/desoldering you can fix them.

     

    Choose 105deg caps and check the ESR rating (low ESR = good high frequency performance) , size and of course voltage.

    There are videos of repairs (useful to get them apart) if you still need convincing, but you'll be surprised how easy it is.
