diy lcd projector - lcd projector

Here are step by step instructions to make your own LCD projector without spending a lot of money. I did this a while ago and I just started posting it.
I used a 15 inch and ran both sides outside the border so try to buy a 14.
This project can use some monitors of different brands, while some do not.
Here I am using cmv522a.
These jobs are great because they don't have ffc (
Flat Flexible cable)
Some monitor does have problems.
Some people's problem is that there is a cable behind the LCD screen that connects the two boards and you need the cable long enough to move the motherboard out of the LCD screen.
Here is a list to tell you that the monitor has/does not have this problem. Here I have a screw in every corner.
I had to remove two covers from the side of the "neck" to uncover the other 4 screws.
Screw all this out!
After removing all the screws, the back of the display should fall off.
I had to bring a flat head screwdriver and run along the seam and pop it down. . BE CAREFUL! !
Some monitors have the possibility to connect to the parts on the back of the Monitor cover! !
Don't take it apart like a wild oon! !
This is what I look at in the back. . .
Look for screws that connect the motherboard and cover to the backlight as you will separate the two as you will use the projector lamp as the backlight.
Unplug the board from the backlight.
Unscrew and flip the board so you can remove the backlight.
I removed the power side of the motherboard for a while because it was easier to flip without it.
The backlight is connected through the clips around the edges, so gently pry/bend them with a flat head.
Gently remove the LCD screen from the backlight housing.
Throw away the backlight.
LCD backlight contains harmful substances Hg like fluorescent lamps.
So handle it properly.
Reconnect the power board to the board connected to the screen and place it on the projector. This display has only vga input, so you need a converter box if you have a component cable.
They make converter boxes for conversion Assembly cables (and others)to vga.
I put a fan on the screen because the screen does get hot.
I did it just in case.
Plug in the game or whatevar and have fun.
This thing is not HD or anything, but good enough, it's fun to make.
