Macintosh Portable Video Adapter

Thanks, yes, someone told me about that device.

I'm repairing a Portable for a friend that has many lines in the display. I was looking more to design something from scratch that goes directly to the LCD and provide a direct replacement for the LCD with 3D printed mounting adapter. So all someone would have to do is open the display and bolt in the new one. So, provide a slick solution for my friend, and help others to repair theirs also.

Adding a $100-ish LCD and TCON board that accepts VGA to that adapter would work well. I found a 10.4" LCD+TCON with the right pixel dimensions and...CCFL backlights. Correct width but a tad too tall, which would work with the black bars top and bottom.


Too many tales of woe with people having perfectly good Portables, and a display that cannot be repaired...

Thanks!
