| PowerBook 1xx LCD flat flex cable scans |
Posted by: luRaichu on 2026-05-24 11:38:38
I've made 1200 DPI scans of the flat flexible cables that are used to connect the PowerBook interconnect board to the Sharp passive matrix displays (as used in PB 140-165) and the Hosiden active matrix display (170 & 180). These scans should help for designing reproduction flex cables if need be.
They both share the exact same pinout, so it seems to be a standard interface for LCDs.
Attached are much smaller preview scans and the full resolution versions can be downloaded here at this moment.
Perhaps there are other active matrix LCD panels that're immune from tunnel vision and can be adapted to work in a PowerBook? |

These are great! I should do this for a couple flat flexes I've torn over the years, the PB500 floppy drive cable, and the AppleCD 600e internal mating cable... |

For reference here is what they look like with the ferrite beads attached |
