Is It Possible to hhack a 10.1 Screen to an 8.9 Mobo?

I was wondering if anybody has tried to hook a 10.1 screen into an 8.9 motherboard. I actually have an extra 10.1 screen, and an extra AOA110 Mobo.

 

are the cables different at all? If it was me, and the cables & plugs were the same, i'd just take a shot at it, especially if they're spares...

To the best o my knowledge, no one has actually tried this, but there are several posts inquiring about the same thing.

 

I hear ya...I would try it if I had all the parts, I only have some of the parts, and would maybe buy the rest if I found it to be feasible. Guess I'll just wait...Somebody bound to try it sooner or later I suppose.

 

What parts are missing? a mobo, RAM, charger and monitor should be all you need to get a POST, won't need a wifi card in the PCIe port, shouldn't need the daughterboard for the USB's, card reader & HDD (depending on which model mobo you have), the webcam and mic are not required to boot.

It'd be the same as strip-booting a PC without un-necessary addon hardware. I would be interested to see if the power circuit of the mobo can handle the larger monitor though.

I'm actually gettig pretty interested in this.. :mrgreen:

 

i too am wondering about this since i have to buy a replacement anyway i entertained the thought of putting in a 10.1 instead of a 8.9 since they cost the same anyway on ebay.

 

If you're willing to try it, see if you can get a look at the connector on the new screen first. You'll need a good high quality photo close up if you can get one, you'll need to count the pins, and perhaps check the colour coded wires.
