LCD

If it does turn out to be LVDS . . .

               Righto, here is an eBay.co.uk link to a board (and screen - which I know you don't need).

               Included in the listing is a bunch of compatible displays and - more helpfully maybe - they offer a match-up service to your screen.

               Could be a starting point.

               HDMI VGA DVI 50PIN TTL LVDS Controller Board+8inch LCD Display for Raspberry PI | eBay

I did some counting and the cable has definately got 50 pins. Its too fine pitched but also too wide to fit into the DPI connector.

The connector that goes from the LCD to the board is labelled as 7dd1+1 fpc and the front of the board LCD070. The resolution is 800 * 480 (Pixel).

The possible candidate driver I found was this one which uses a VS-TY2662-V1 chip described as coping with 7 to 10 inch boards

New SainSmart 10.1 Inch TFT LCD Monitor Driver Board HDMI VGA for Raspberry Pi | eBay

Spotted that one (and others) too with my eBay wanderings, < £15 GBP isn't bad either.

And the board has some startling similarities to my link . . . .

Also, by the time it arrives we'll have all forgotten about this conversation too!!

If all these comment(ers) are using this situation as a Teachable-Moment, then go right ahead. BUT if the object is to get a working 7" touchscreen for a RaspPi 3 B, then I would CUT my losses ($16.12 pounds = $15.42 USD). Get the Official RaspPi 7" Touch Screen (`$70.00 USD). I read the specs at that URL for the eBay entry for this $16.12 pounds, and it seems incomplete at Best. My knowledge dates back to my 73' BSEE (Syracuse Univ. NY USA), so maybe I am not up to speed. It maybe worth your trouble, It won't be worth my time and money. It is up to you. Like people say: "You can pay me Now or you can Pay me Later".

I have an old HP laptop screen and will be doing the same, if I can get it up and running for under £17 then I will.

I sure as heck can't afford to splash out £65 GBP for the smaller official screen, of a far lower resolution than the FREE item I have - (15.4-inch wide-screen display; 1,280x800).

I don't like the word 'can't' - it needs changing to 'haven't figured out how to yet'!

(except for striking a match on jelly - you really can't strike a match on jelly)!!
