I am new to this whole idea of this, and have successfully set my i-opener, with new bios expanded ram, etc.
I have been very interested in the idea of extending the cable for the lcd screen. The threads that I have read about this subject state that contrast controls are lost the longer the cable. But, I have not read any definate resolution from someone that has been successful on extending this cable past 18 inches.
Is there anyone that has sucessfully extended this cable a few feet... and what was your technique.
I don't know what you mean by a few feet? I believe you could go two maybe two and a half
feet the way I did. I think the time lag in a longer cable may be a problem, you can always
try. I took the original cable and diagonally cut it in the middle and with some salvaged
22ga wire from a parallel cable I pigtailed spliced (not a butt splice) in 18 inches to
install into an old 386 laptop case. The only problem I had was with the backlite HV.
The one in the IO is small, designed for about 3cm of cable length. I used the one from the donor laptop as it was bigger and is supplied enough power for the 18 inches of test
lead wire.
Experiment with it, if you screw it up I am sure someone has a dead IO to supply you with a replacement cable.
Good Luck
