Okay, I just finished up doing prep work with the is panel. They are available for $95 shipped in Cont US from Newegg. Strange, I just went to put a link to the page and they don't sell them anymore. I got mine earlier this week. At any rate, these Hannspree TVs come in lots of variations and I'm guessing the guts are similar and the LCD is identical. I know there's some on Ebay for around a $100.

I got the baseball version, kinda cheesy but I wasn't after it for the snazzy casing.

1. Remove the screws on the back then slide a credit card or finger around the top to pry open the 3 plastic clips.

6. Remove the front bezel.

7. Tilt the LCD assembly forward on its base to remove these 4 screws. Make sure to hold the LCD while doing this so it doesn't fall. You could also lay it face down to do this, just watch that you don't lay the LCD on the button board (as it could scratch it).

Now you can remove the base.

8. Remove the 4 screws on the front.

16. Remove these tiny 2 screws (one pictured the other is on the other side of the board):

17. Go around the whole perimeter of the frame carefully prying these little protrusions from the holes they lock into, pushing in and up (I did it with a precision screw driver) on the inner layer EXCEPT for the edge with the edge connectors. Then remove the metal frame and peel the adhesive plastic strip over the board with it.

It should look like this afterward:

18. The FFC is a 20 pin .5mm one and you can get an extension here at the LL store or at Mouser (cable part # is 538-21020-0215 for 6" or 538-21020-0219 for 8"; clamp can be any of the following 538-52745-2096, 538-52746-2070, or 538-52559-2072). Be sure to read Brain's tutorial on FFC extensions.

This particular clamp is a hinge style so you just take you finger nail and gently life up to release the FFC.

19. Finally! lift the backlight free and your LCD is good to go!

BIG NOTE! There is no removing the AG on this panel because the ploarizer is the one and only layer above the glass substrate on both sides, but both sides have an AG spray-on coating so if you want to mod this panel, Mother's Mag polish is the way to go unless you wanna go a double polar removal (which kinda sounds like it could be troublesome).

Hopefully by the end of the weekend I can post some screenies of this panel in my pj.

totally awesome, any link to a seller other then through ebay?

It look like the s-video plug is a compact vga plug like on the hami monitor. Can that thing take vga?

Compact vga plug? I've never heard of a compact vga plug other then the mini vga plug that comes on some ibooks. It does look different then a regular s video plug. I think it might be a plug for a multi input dongle svid/rca audio/etc.

I looked up the Hannspree Winnie the Pooh TV (hah) and it says it has a 4-in-1 plug. So
that's probably it.

Young Gun, here's one for the semitruck version from dogbyte computers: http://dogbytecomputer.com/xcart/catalog/p..._in_LCD_TV.html

There's about a dozen versions of this tv (train, firetruck, Winnie the Pooh *nod to Vonneuton* and various others). Some are $300 or more and some are getting closed out. I mention the truck cuz its hideous and therefore probably going for cheaper. I guess just google for 10" or 9.6" Hannspree TV.

Johnzo it doesn't take VGA, it is a multi in connection. It's actually S-video and stereo in but Composite out. The composite in (with its stereo plugs) in on the back of the unit -- little weird. Whether or not there's a hack to get VGA in is well beyond me.

Actually other versions have a true 4-in1, but the baseball just had to go and be quirky! It doesn't affect my design (actually having a long cord with my inputs helps).

duchess, the lcd looks like a prime candidate for sdtv and everything else that is non-hd. Great find, great strip. cant wait to see what box you stick it in.

Thanks! I finally got things up an running and here's a pick of my enclosure. (Thinking about a more aesthetically pleasing solution for the button bar) It's 1/8" hard board on the sides and 1/2" plywood top/bottom/front/back. I wanted to paint it to match my speakers (black and silver woodgrain) but the piece of @#$% Harbor Freight air brush fell apart on me a dozen times so I decided varigated/marble was good enough.

Oh yes, lest I forget, my set up:

-- Standard LL lenses
-- Eiko DE lamp 4200K (kinda yellowy on start up, but not terrible)
-- LL e-ballast
-- 4 Cooler Master 80mm fans (as you can see)
-- Aerogate 3 fan controller (so far on heat tests after 3 hours doesn't go above 85 f)

All the following are Finding Nemo (as it is a reference movie) and with no tweeking so far. (Truth be told I am soooooooo elated that it is up and running!) If you don't hear from me for a couple of days, I'll be watching movies and playing Playstation.

Oh yeah, the screen is 72" diagonal (roughly 3 times the square inches of viewing surface of the 20 year old RPTV that the pj is sitting on --- I hollowed that sucker out a few weeks ago if anyone is looking for a projection lens from one)

To be totally honest, the camera adjusted for this one. It wasn't quite this bright.

I'm really liking the color of this little panel. If the shots seem a little "meh" I'm still learning to use this camera.

So pretty.....

"Name's Bruce"

Sydney Harbor

Darla "out of the box" (as in no changes to the settings of the tv since it came)

Darla after a few seconds' adjustment in the menu.

Oh yeah, there was some daylight in the room, but pretty minimal amount. Everything was visible still with the room behind me fully lit with several hundred watts burning in there.

Overall I'm VERY happy with how everything has turned out! Thanks Lumenlab members!

dont suppose you can give us a peak inside that magical black box? great success id say!

Great work!
Those results look fantastic,and the box looks pretty good too.
A pic of the insides would be very nice.
Congrats on the results so far,well done.
Cheers P

Wow! Pun15her, I'm much honored by a pioneer like yourself dropping in! To you and illusionistpro, I appreciate your compliments. Thank you!

So here's just a shot of my screen and front speakers (the surround 3 channels are on the lower left, still haven't set them up yet)

Click to view attachment

And here's the back half of the lid.... (it's moved farther back so the intake is baffled)

Click to view attachment

So the bottom of the intake is flashing (kinda killing two birds with one stone) and the black strip is the removable air filter)

Click to view attachment

Here's the air filter removed (pretty easy to do, just flip the wing nuts to move the tabs and out it comes)

Click to view attachment

Here's the light engine. Nothing special, I have a little movement to the left or right and a couple inches adjustment forward and back. That's a polished ikea reflector (if anyone is wondering) The ballast and power supplies are under the flashing (forgive me for not wanting to pull it up for just a messy shot of wiring )

And here's a shot from nose to tail of the interior. Yes, those are black twist ties holding some of the stuff in place I lucked out by ordering two 6 inch FFC extensions from Mouser. I would recommend getting the 8 inch for good measure.

And for another reference shot here's my hero Milla Jovovich, I mean Leeloo...

And here's another, just cuz I love seeing how cool this thing is!

Im really into this panel, great job once again. I took the liberty to take all the pictures and directions and put them into a pdf for greater ease if anyone else is interested in this strip. Enjoy.

[edit] i cant seem to upload. its only 336k, hosts or ideas anyone?

very nice looking build! did you make the screen? the stripping guide was well done too! what kind of filter did you use?

Thank you, that really means a lot coming from you!

I did make the screen; BOC, 1x3 poplar with rayon velvet borders. The filter is for heat registers, a pack of 12 sheets for like $3 at Walmart (I only use 1/3 sheet at a time so the pack will last a while).

Hi,

Your projector looks real nice.I am impressed by the results .Great that you found this T.V. I am about to build my first projector and I thought of getting the same hannspree t.v. Just curious did you find out who was the manufacturer of LCD panel? If possible can you do me a favor by posting the details on the sticker on the back of the LCD back light?(shown in the photo you had posted earlier) or by posting a close up photo of the sticker? Just wanted to see the data sheet of the LCD. Hope I am not troubling you.

Thanks,
Gitu

Sorry I didn't reply to you here, I just don't check this thread anymore. Thanks again for the info (specs listed in the amended first post)!

I just found this at my local Pathmark (Long Island NY) for $29.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Limit 4!!!!!!!!
It was hooked to a dvd player instore and the picture was really good for the price.
So I picked 1 up for a future project.

Hi, i was wondering if you could give me the cable part for the 20 pin .5mm the cable part # provided shows up as connectors instead of cables.

thanks in advance

If LL doesn't sell the cable you're looking for, you can find several URLs for other online stores that sell these cables in the Note on using the FFC extension kits thread.
