I have a Samsung 151s on transit due on June 1, but have a 3 day weekend coming up! Does anyone know the measurements of the 151s lcd panel so I can build a box... or should I just build it the standard size?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news... Samsung 151s had an FFC issue - at least mine does. Check these numbers to see if your is the same; if so, send it back in the same box it came in. My 2c.

Another...

The numbers...

It does strip very nicely. I still intend to use mine because I can't return it. Currently I'm dealing with extending my FFC.

OK, got my Samsung 151s... NOT compatible without a ffc entension!!!

Attached picture....
Roughly 3/8" wide 20 conductors!!!

HELP

There's some info here on the 151s.

It says there's no need to lengthen the short FFC.

Edit: link didn't work, try this:

In case the link doesn't work for you, as it didn't for me:

Not sure if I understand HOW it isn't too short........ Doesn't appear that the cable would be long enough to allow the 2 board to be moved off the panel.

randy,
can you post a pic. with the ffc connected at both ends?

There is already this thread, with pictures:

Try to stick to the same thread, Randy.

If you do need an extension, I'm sure we can help out.

Is that the

2 - HFJ20CT-ND CONN FPC/FFC 20POS .5MM HORZ SMD
1- HFF-20U-06-ND CABLE FLAT FLEX 20POS 0.5MM 6"

specs look right... how do you connect the 2 connectors together? Solder wires between the pins?
