Hello everyone! My portable came to me and I was able to get it fixed. (It has a nice lcd but when it fails I want to be ready, I also want to help the community) But when doing my research so many of them have been turned to parts because of the lcd, it gets worse and worse but cant get better because of little transistors or vinegar syndrome. Well I am trying to modify a design created by Rezafouladian to fit inside of the Portable. It would fit in the battery case or, if best comes to best inside of the display bezel itself.
I have a couple of stages for this project:
Stage 1: Adapter FPC to connect to standard connectors for ease of use connecting to the lcd plug on the motherboard and then putting it to a more standard cable 2x13 2.54 header. Done!

Stage 2: Modifying Rezafouladian's design to connect to the 2.54 header. In Progress
Stage 3: Buy it when I have the money and test it.
Extra parts to go with it. An Pi-Zero, and a lcd (that is the right size) with HDMI or av output controller board, cable to connect everything together. (Exhaustive, I know.)
I hope it works and I can share it with all of you when the time comes. I will update progress when things happen. Please share your thoughts and ideas too. Thanks!
