Looking for a fix for my LTM1555BT monitor I found a website that my bring the FFC problems to an end.

The website is http://www.axon-cable.net/product/axon/ffc/ffc.htm

There are numerous offices throught the world.

This website will let you design and order any cable you need. The only problem is that you have to order 30 pieces at a time.

The cost is about $4.00 a piece, you can do the math, but I sent a email to see if we can order singles or less than 30, probably not.

As I'm pondering the question of what to do next, I thought this might be possible. Can or could I change the center of my LCD panel with all my lenses and keeping my 1024 x 768 screen resolution achieve the same results...

Someone must know.

Thanks

If you reduce the size of your screen, you reduce your resolution as well.

brainchild,

Yes, I know, but would or could this work!

Thanks

Sure.

In a nutshell the FPC connector comes from Hirose pn-DF14H-20P-125.

It appears that the FFC connector is also from there check out this link, http://www.hirose-connectors.com/catalog/pdf/137_142.pdf the pdf is 546k look at the last page 141. You might have the 0.5mm pitch, 0.9mm above the board connector.

If you choose to, you can go to the Hirose web site then click the contact button and have them send you free samples.

So how do you fig which one you need? Can't just pull the one from the LCD and mail it to them.

I guess a photo of the one you need to extend might help them.

What do you think.

Your a barrel of laughs...

The picture of theirs and mine is pretty close, since I know where the one came from, I already sent a e-mail asking for a confirmation and all the details that I have on my board...

So, time well tell, also I asked them if there was an extension available too!

Well, I believe that the LTM1555B T does have 10.5mm cable. I order two different type of connectors and 4 lengths of 6" extension cable. I will find a easy process to connect them together and then will post the results here.

Honest!

Well, I do have a fix.. ..and it was pretty simple...so here goes.

There were issues of soldering the two FFC connectors together, so I thought that maybe I could super glue the connectors back to back connectors touching and that would be a simple fix. They touch and the glue held, but not well.

So, I did this, and it does work. I put one of the 6" extensions into the FFC connector, on the circuit board, and used sticky-sticky doulbe-sided tape on both sides of the extension. Meaning the tape holds the extension in place on the circuit board and in the FFC connector. Since tape is on both sides of the circuit board...it ain't moving at all.

Now, for the other end. I tried putting both ends in a blank FFC connector so the contacts would be touching each other, in the correct position, and then lock them into place, but they would not fit. So, what I did was use sticky tape, again, and positioned the extension and the FFC cable together, correct position, so they could not move. Then I put a couple of small sticks together on each side FFC cables where they are touching and then used a 2" C-clamp and squeezed it together, so the contacts are touching.

I plugged in my LTM1555BT and behold, it worked...I can move them and the screen does not flicker.

So, that is what I did. I could attach pictures, but all you would see is double sided tape and a C-clamp.

Any questions or comments...let me know.

If anybody is interested I have posted a few pics of my FFC fix under the Australian Members thread

I'm just too lazy to put it all here aswell.

Why dodn't you just use two small pieces of plexi glass and two small bolts at each end and make a small clamp for it would be a little cleaner and smaller.

Plexiglass would work but it is not small than double-sided tape....but it would be more secure...either way we have a fix..
