Looking to gut the case of my beloved but now nonfunctional HP TC1100 and use the LCD and digitizer with a Raspberry Pi 3. A quick idea:
The case itself is 10.8 x 8.5 x 0.8 in (27.4 x 21.6 x 2.0 cm) so theres a bit of depth but not a ton to play with. The original had VGA, ethernet & phone, a couple of USB ports and SD card reader in the side so that leaves a little room for a decent breakout with up-to-date ports etc.
I'm curious to know if anyone can forsee any problems with the build before I collect all the parts. I'd planned on getting control board and LVDS/digitizer cable from Chalkboard Electronics and fitting it out in a similar way to the PiPad (probably USB sound though). I'm aiming to get as much useful functionality out of it as possible, more as a challenge rather than anything else.
Thanks for looking... if all goes well I'll post some pics of the build as it progresses
