Accidentally broke Xiaomi Mi trimmer usb charging cable end, searched online didn't find its replacement anywhere..
Took matters in own hands, watched a youtube video of an Indian guy explaining how to fix regular USB smartphone cable,
sacrificed 2-3 old damaged usb cables lying in drawer , and finally was able to fix it. Works fine so far.
had a evil laugh in mind imagining that spider-man meme : Maybe i am something of a scientist myself

My diy monitor (with speakers), a powerbank and a usb web cam all from parts of a dead inspiron laptop.
The Bezel-less monitor looks nice!

Where did you sources the LCD Control Board?

All my search ends in Aliexpress or Ebay, both won't ship here, and no sellers in India.

Thanks! I bought it from a site called qualityelectro. But that was two years ago, not sure if the site is operational as I have not seen any new products listed there. There are also some electronic component stores (not sure if I can post links here, im new) but I have not used these sites so proceed with caution. The bigger problem is getting the suitable lvds cables for your display. I got mine from Aliexpress pre covid.

Thanks for the info, mate.
I could see the LCD controller boards are available in the store you mentioned. Let me check the model of my laptop screen and the compatible board there.

The boards are mostly universal i.e they support many resolution by flashing different firmware. I would suggest to find the cable first and later buy the board

Oh, That's new info. I have the 40 pin LVDS cable for the Display as intact in the Dead Laptop. The board is dead and all the other components are intact still.

Oh good luck mate, checkout diyperks youtube channel as he's my inspiration for these kind of stuff. Also found a site which sells board+cable. Pm me if you need any help!
