Hi, first of all thanks for reading this, at this point I'm a bit lost and scared.
I had an iMac at home from 2007 that worked wonderfully but as you will understand, being from 2007, it wasn't worth much anymore. I decided to disassemble it and make it a screen for my Mac M1 so I found out how to do it and started my mission.
At first everything was fine, the disassembly process was perfect thanks to IFixit, the search for a good LCD controller too, and the assembly was a bit more cumbersome but I got it too.
After many hours, HURRAY! It worked!
But... with some problems...
First of all I had to modify the configuration of the Mac so that it would send an RGB signal, otherwise the screen would disconnect every second, then I managed to see the image of the second monitor but I realized that it would be seen with inverted colors and very white, washed out.
I've been searching the internet for a few days and talking to the seller, I think he's reached a point where he doesn't know how to help me and he says it's my screen that's old but two weeks ago it worked fine, apart from the inverted color. ... doesn't fit me.
I currently have two theories but I have no clue which is true:
- The problem comes from the LVDS cable, which is why the colors are inverted
- The problem comes from the Inverter (which the iMac 24" has built in in the power cable), that's why the backlight looks so white.
I no longer have the parts of the original iMac, but I can test everything I can get my hands on. I attach some photos.
Thank you!
