the dark area on the lower right corner and a crack like look on the center of the panel are the areas i m afraid and after five minutes or so it seems to be part of the darkened pixels are returning back to normal .is it this which happens normally or is my lcd broken and of no use?can i try plug the lcd circuit to the cpu?i found no FCC issues with my monitor.infact i seperated the lcd panel and its circuit board successfully.even if all the pixels are back to normal can i use the monitor for further purpose or for projector?

What you've got there is a cracked LCD screen (Google image search). Welcome to the LCD Killer club.

today i connected my cracked lcd screen and it seems to be its no longer usable..thank you mojo my cracked lcd s display looks like the same picture i just saw in google search.
anyway there is no point of worrying about that still a long way to learn for me.here i got an another picture tell me if the marked area(like side sticker connector three in number as shown in the picture) if removed is an issue.i was seeing that sticker connector was actually sticked to the frame.will this sticker is left free while on a projector ?is that just a side sticker for side support?should it be cut while using it in the projector?

If you meant that there was a length of tape holding those side FFCs to the LCD frame, then yes, you can remove the tape.
The FFCs on the side should not be removed, though. They're essential to the functioning of the LCD.

I always recommend modding the plastic/metal LCD frame so you can reuse it for your projector - like I show in my PLOG.

Some LCD panels won't have any side mounted FFCs (like my 12.1" LCD), other panels will just have the FFCs (like yours) and still others might have a thin PCB attached to the FFCs.

Those FFCs can be real fragile. Check out the following Google search: site:lumenlab.com reinforce FFC tape silicone

You might run across a "quirk" when searching using Google, however. If you notice the thread looking "wonky" like this image, simply go up the the top right corner of the thread and click on Options and then Switch to: Standard.
