This story is way shorter, and not so educational, as the Asus EEE one, but it does suggest that I’m not lucky with any lcd displays – big or small.

So I had this Samsung 226BW display and it was great up until the day it decided that it had it, and that it won’t display my video anymore  (black screen – not even the detecting signal thingy was there).
So I opened it…

…figured out I don’t know much about electronics…

…and bought a new one (Philips 241E1SB E-Line).

Maybe replacing the power supply would work, but I don’t know. New power supply from China would cost 30€.

Now I’m off to watching some full HD animes (It sure gonna feel different on full HD resolution compared to 1680×1050 – before you start commenting know that this was sarcasm)
The main thing is that I can work, chat, browse, tweet, etc. at the same time again without going crazy.

p.s. There was some sticker saying something like “compatible with win 7″, but I have no idea what happed to it

Yeah, I broke my eee’s lcd -.- hardware yay… not

I’ve ordered one from ebay two weeks ago and got it today. They’ve charged me extra 17€ for vat and some other unknown expenses >.< But anyway, here it is:

Next step, of course, is to disassemble eee immediately!

kaboom  motherboard (PCB MADE IN CHINA)

Throw the old lcd away, connect the new one… and…

this lid is too small!!! false alarm

And thats all. Pretty simple. Just connect the keyboard back with fancy connectors, screw back some screws…

whoa, looks like eee again (got keyboard working in 2nd try)

Now I only hope that this one will stay in one piece for a while (current record is less than 1 year).
