Replace LCD module on Sony Monitor

[zakourou]

Hi,

I broke my lcd module in my lcd monitor when building a VP DIY.
My lcd module is a model AUO M170EN05 (au optronics).

I found a cheaper lcd module model AUO M170EG01

Can I replace my old lcd module by this one ?

Here are the datasheets of the lcd modules found on :

AUO M170EN05


AUO M170EG01


Thanx for your response,

Regards

here are the direct links of the datasheets on the topic. It's more easy to read them online.

M170EG01

I'm not sure but I think the signal pinout is the same but not the backlight pinout.
May be, I can make some adaptation of the backlight connector but I don't know how to do it.

thanx

I swapped a AUO M190EN05 with a AUO M190EN03 I want to say, and they were pin compatible, HOWEVER, irregardless of the size they state in the spec sheet, the "Casing" (what covers the screen, plexiglass, diffusment sheets) is NOT included, and IS larger then stated, sometimes it's the same size as what you have, but the only way to be sure of ACTUAL size is physical measurement.

Good luck!
