hm i kinda have if necessary access to 18v (ok 17) off the flying
17V on the border between working and not working - 18V ok, 19V laptop supplies - ebay about £15
ok. i got one of those kicking around.
squirrel LCD charge pump, plus 3.3v LDO.
LDO needs a little head room + protection diode - need 5V supply about £5 on ebay.
ok.
as long as you can do a breakout for the fpc and preferably have a suitable 44-pin connector that mates with the MEB's pins (so i'm not having to solder 30 wires directly to it and make a mess!) i should be good to go.
That is the bit I have to wire for you with fpc fitted - real pain them 0.5mm pitch fpc.
oh if you're doing it by hand i can manage that if you can source the components. i might have a 40-pin 2.5mm header i got from maplin's 2 years ago - i'll check the bag-o-bits tonight :)
Play it by ear... see what hardware turns up and how far I get, and then I send email again.
ok sah.
Jam today!
