Powerbook 190 display flat cable

Posted by: doctormistral on 2024-01-07 10:28:22 Does anyone know if the flat display cable of the 190cs (see pic) and the one of Powerbook 190 (grayscale) are interchangeable? Thanks!

Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2024-01-07 14:55:26 They are not. Do you have both LCDs on you? Both the 190 and 190cs shipped with one of two LCDs. See: https://macdat.net/macintosh/powerbook/general/powerbooklcdindex.html 190 is a Casio or a Sharp, 190cs is a Sharp or a ToriSan. I believe all 4 are not interchangeable. As a side note - A photo showing the entire LCD of any you have for either laptop would be immensely useful to me. I'm trying to get capacitor reference info for both models for my website and am missing a lot of it.
