Repurpose Quanta WJ7 motherboard

[stirl]

Hi all

I have just acquired a HP all in one pc from a neighbor with a broken screen. I would like to reuse all the internals for one of a couple different projects I have in mind but I am not sure how to go about a display.

The motherboard, Quanta WJ7...HP calls it Armand, has a lvds interface (I think).

I know the cable that connects the motherboard to the lcd is lvds on the end that connects the panel, but I am unsure if the other end is considered lvds or not.

Is there some type of hardware interface that would connect to the motherboard and allow a hdmi or dvi connection or do I just have to buy a new panel.

I scoured google and found some connectors that will turn a working lcd into a monitor but nothing that will adapt to the motherboard...if that makes sense.

Thanks for any advice, tips, tricks or help!!

Try aliexpress or some site like that. They normally have anything you need.

There are adapters that enable you to convert an LVDS connection into DVI or HDMI. You must ensure the connection on the motherboard isn't custom for this to work.

@trac3rbull3t Thanks...I'll give er a look!

@Hi-Fi Man How would I know if custom or not. I have looked at the specs hp provides , where under internal connectors it lists 1xLVDS...thats as detailed as it gets...lol. I've tried the manufacture site Quanta but no luck...maybe I will have to contact HP. Thanks for your help Hi-Fi Man!
