laptop lcd panel raspberry pi factory

As outlined in step -II, LCD controller kit contains the controller board the inverter and the LVDS cable, so before we begin our installation of components, lets look into the working of LCD

An LCD (liquid crystal display) panel uses multiple components to create the image you see on the screen. The liquid crystals are arranged in a layer near the front of the screen. As the crystals rapidly change color, they create an image. This image would not be viewable, however, without a backlight. The backlight is located behind the crystal layer and shines through the crystals to provide enough light for the users to see the image.

The backlight of an LCD screen, requires AC power rather than the DC power provided by the laptop’s power supply. This is where the inverter comes in. The inverter converts the DC (direct current) that comes from the laptop’s power supply to the AC (alternating current) that is needed for the backlight of the LCD screen.

Next, you need to know the depth. Measure the thickest piece you have. For me, this was the inverter, which was just under 2cm. So my side pieces are 2cm deep.

You also need some way to hold the screen in place and keep it from moving. I didn"t want to attach anything permanent to the screen itself, so I designed 4 small triangle brackets. These should be the full depth of the inside of the case and the screen should be set back just enough so that it is held against the front panel of the case. The last page shows how I where the brackets would be positioned in the final product.

Finally, I made the back panel with a hinge so that I could get into the circuitry if I need to in the future. Just be aware of where the brackets will go if you chose to include this feature and make sure you have room.

I"ve been using the Rpi 4 8GB for coming up on 2 years now. This gives me the chance to reflect on why I have stuck with it, rather than go with a laptop.

2. There"s a ton of fan noise from most laptops (Intel being worse than AMD) whereas the Pi4 has essentially none, especially now that I have the fan controlled by Rpi OS.

5. Most laptops skimp on the enclosure: either it"s a plastic or super-thin aluminum shell, because manufacturers resolutely refuse to learn from what Apple did with the Macbook.

One could say that because laptops have more parts, many more things can go wrong with them, or be wrong out of the gate. Maybe there are bad design choices, or on some day cheaper parts were used that are awful. More parts means more hardware defects. Few manufacturers are committed to making a laptop that gets everything right. The one company Apple that seemed to have made that commitment has also made some horrible design decisions in recent years, like puttijng a notch on a laptop screen. The Intel NUC laptop, which was virtually a carbon copy of the Macbook Pro and was made for them by Tongfang, could have been great but Intel has mismanaged it like it does everything.

3. Some day I"d like to see a decent CM4 Pi-based laptop with CNC-machined aluminum, like the Macbook or Intel NUC laptop. Maybe Tongfang would be willing to make a deal?

4. The RPTL doesn"t *make* any parts. Sony (Wales, for the most part) assembles most Pi4Bs. Parts suppliers are where you find them. The way to source parts from somewhere other than China is for manufacturers to find it cheaper to have the work done elsewhere. It"s all really a race to the bottom in terms of labor costs.

The real solution to items 1 and 2 is to wait for the Pi5B. No one outside the RPTL knows when that will be. Odds are that it will be faster (there has been a speed boost with every generation so far, so that is expected). *IF* it is decided to move from LPDDR4 to LPDDR5 one might anticipate a doubling of DRAM. Whether that change in DRAM will happen with the Pi5B or some later PI is in the laps of the gods.

I"m currently using a 12 year old laptop with 32GB or RAM, great screen, 4 cores, etc, etc, etc. And other than the outdated video hardware and graphics it will still beat that crap out of any sub $1000 laptop you can pick up at the store today.

The caveat is this particular laptop as it is configured today with all that RAM and SSD, would probably have cost $3000.00 + back then. And it would also have beat the crap out of any apple laptop at that time too, except for the screen, as the cRapple screens have always been the 1 thing no one could really beat.

If you want a linux laptop with support, for latest hardware out of the box, they exist. But you"re going to have to pay more than a few hundred bucks for them.

Yes the goal should be a 10+ year laptop purchase. But quality has gone down over the years. Thinner plastic, cheaper aluminum... Flimsier enclosures could fall under built-in obsolescence, as could soldered RAM, and CPUs that overheat but the cooling is insufficient (Intel-based Macbook Pro is an example).

And of course, OEMs regularly swap in cheaper, crappier parts to save money e.g. some factory floor manager gets a good deal on a load of parts that"s known to be 10% defective but he uses it and pockets a bunch of cash as a result. AFAICT companies like Dell and HP have no one on the ground in China to make sure that doesn"t happen.

I just want a laptop with Linux-compatible parts. It doesn"t have to be System 76 or something. And it has to be worth buying, not some junky HP thing.

I do stuff on a day to day with my workstations that a NUC would not be able to do, an definitely not without getting very hot and throtleing and pinning the cores at 100%. Likewise for that mac mini.

Intel has many different types of CPUs, You can even buy laptops with full blown Xeon CPUs in them. They do weigh a ton because they need bulky heat sinks and fans that sound like jet engines when they are going full speed. On the otherhand, you typical $200 dollar laptop has a CPU that is nothing remotely close to a Xeon, just a cheap celeron or the like. In fact, Intel makes CPUs that just the CPUs themselves are more expensive than many laptops you can buy at a store with drives, ram, power supply and OS already loaded on it.

But those laptops are garbage not because of the CPU: It"s the horrific screen, painful keyboard, irritating trackpad etc. It"s better to bypass such junk.

Your list of wants reads a lot like a list of things you find in an Intel/AMD system. And your dislike for the build quality is relative only to the amount one is willing to pay for a "descent" laptop. I expanded into the internal stuff like the CPU because "descent" depends on what someone needs the system to do. What you think is descent is unlikely to meet my daily needs. On the other hand, I"d be more than happy to have a $200 laptop you deems to be crappy if all I wanted was to read/write emails and waste time on facebook all day long.

If you tried that with a $200 laptop on a regular basis, your eyes would hurt and your arms would be getting tendonitis and possibly carpal tunnel syndrome. Cheap Windows laptops are crappy not just because the parts are cheap, it"s because they"re unhealthy. These are the McDonalds of laptops whereas Chromebooks are the Burger King. The Raspberry pi is not a laptop, but in some ways it is better.

Actually, it is probably possible with maybe 500 hours of work to get a CM4 working inside of an old 15 inch Macbook Pro, after removing the Mac motherboard and buying some adapters e.g. DSI/SPI to LVDS or eDP if such a thing exists.

I had an original Acer Aspire One running Linux for a very long time. It was fantastic. I"d love to have something similar now. The size and form factor were ideal. Probably the closest is the Dell XPS13 Developer Edition, but it"s not available in my country.

There is a difference between being able to make one like that from a old mac you have laying around or someone gave to you and produce thousands for sale, in which case you"ll have to buy the cases from someone who produces them and they won"t be selling them for the price of old used laptops.

A pitop or whatever they call them, if I recall correctly, costs around $300. Compare a computer like that for what you can get for 300 in an x86 laptop with all of the stuff already in it, with much higher performance, etc. This is the bit you"re missing.

The Raspberry pi is not a laptop, but in some ways it is better.

I agree that the difference between an 11 or 14" screen versus a 27 or 32" screen can be more important than a little extra processing power. Anything that needs more CPU is anyway better to run on a cluster or cloud compared to a laptop.

While I don"t like the aluminum case of a MacBook or the keyboard any more than the cheapest Windows laptop, the difference appears important to others. The fact is neither are very productive for me. On the other hand, it"s possible to connect a sensible keyboard, mouse and monitor to most laptops. As long as you"re not an OpenBSD developer, the rest comes down to whether your work requires MacOS, Windows or a well-supported version of Linux.

Back to the Pi, my experience is that Linux is better supported by Raspberry Pi than any major manufacturer of notebook or desktop computers. Therefore, if you want a vendor-supported Linux desktop, the Pi 4B is good and the low price used to be an added benefit before the supply chain problems.

Note also if you ever need to upgrade to a new model of Pi, the old one can be converted into an automatic garden sprinkler. That can"t be done so easily with a laptop.

I would throw my money at a Pi laptop if one appeared on the market that used a CM4. Even better if it could offer upgrade by future Compute Modules using the same form factor. The convenience of being able to dive in anywhere I happen to be without wires and cables is important and I want it to be Pi so it is part of the Pi world and community. I don"t want a chromebook with Linux, in fact I already have one. It"s not just about linux, it"s also about Raspberry Pi for me.

The existing efforts, like that green thing, don"t really fit the bill. There is actually one promising Pi laptop but impossible to get and beyond impossible with a UK keyboard.

However, there are rumblings and rumours about a RISC V based laptop being brewed up, and I would go for that and probably then make RISC V my future.

Every time I"ve decided to just start up my Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, I"m always blown away with just how fast it is.... Until you play youtube, which is the Raspberry Pi"s weakness.

But, eventually I got my hands on my Chromebook, which hands down, is the best laptop I"ve ever owned. And it runs circles around my Pi4. Then there"s my custom PC, which just does everything (except hackintosh) my Chromebook can"t.

Between all my systems, and the fact that my chromebook can run crostini, which gives me a very Raspberry Pi like experience, I haven"t broken out my Pi from it"s cupboard for a while. I just haven"t had a reason to. I can run VScode via crostini, play more games on my PC than my Raspberry Pi ever could, and get some creative stuff done on my iMac (unless it"s video editing. Then it"s back to the desktop)

Assuming there is the right tool. It seems to me the OP is saying there isn"t - Cheap laptops are rubbish, more expensive ones are better but still have their problems. There isn"t a decent Pi-based laptop and a Pi isn"t quite up to the job anyway.

I"m not convinced, even with a more capable Pi, a Pi-based laptop would necessarily be cheaper and better than any other laptop, that there would be a product the OP finds ideal.

Think of carrying a Keyboard, Display and Mouse separately for a small Raspberry Pi. It’s little odd right?. There is an option to use your own laptop hardware (Keyboard, Mouse and Display) with the Raspberry Pi. This guide will help you to get it done. Using Ethernet cable (No Router needed) you can directly connect the Raspberry pi with the laptop’s Ethernet port. There is a protocol called SSH (Secure Shell) which is a cryptographic network protocol to operate network services securely over an unsecured Network. The VNC – Virtual Network Computing is used to remotely control Raspberry Pi through another computer. Let’s see how to use all of these to use your raspberry pi with the laptop. If you have any questions and doubts use the comment section below.

Attention: If your Raspberry Pi has Wi-Fi then you can access it in Wireless way (No Ethernet cable needed). Check the following tutorial for Headless Wi-Fi Setup or continue for Headless setup with Ethernet:

Step 4: Duplicate the ‘cmdline.txt’ file and rename it to ‘cmdline.normal’. Now we have both ‘cmdline.txt’ and ‘cmdline.normal’. You can toggle back to the old version by just swapping the filenames.

Step 8: Eject the microSD card from the computer and place it in the Raspberry Pi. Then connect the PC and Raspberry Pi via Ethernet cable. Then connect USB cable for power supply. Wait until the pi boots up completely. It might take up to 90 Seconds. You can notice the ACT LED (Shows SD card activity) on the raspberry pi until it stops blinking frequently.

Step 9: Open Putty on your PC and enter the IP address 169.254.0.2 (raspberry pi IP) and port as 22. Click open, this will open a terminal and ask for username and password.

Step 12: Now go to Google Chrome and open VNC Viewer App (You need to install from google apps or visit website). Enter the IP Address of raspberry pi with :1 at end of the IP. Like this ‘169.254.0.2:1’

Step 14: Congrats! You can access the raspberry pi desktop screen on your laptop. You can use your PC’s Keyboard, Mouse and Display with your Raspberry Pi Virtually.

Raspberry Pi, now in its fourth generation, opens up new worlds for makers through card-sized kits. The Raspberry Pi"s display is indispensable, it turns the Raspberry Pi into a computer that is easy to use anywhere. Here are some pertinent guides and views for choosing a Raspberry Pi display screen.

Screen resolution refers to the total number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. The resolution is closely related to the details of the picture. If the selected resolution is not compatible, the display will stretch and shrink to fit the specified resolution, causing a huge loss of signal and quality.

Also consider whether the screen is compatible with the Raspberry Pi model. The Raspberry Pi display screen uses connectors for effective communication between peripheral devices. The most common connectors are HDMI, VGA and AV input. In addition, whether it is a back-mounted bracket, a stand-alone type or an integrated shell screen design that accommodates the Raspberry Pi, everything has to be designed to match the Pi perfectly.

Below is a list of all the best Raspberry Pi compatible screens available online. We provide many types of Raspberry Pi screens at very low prices to help you find a screen that suits your needs and projects：
