Excellent!!! Been looking for this for a while. Too bad someone hasn't hacked the firmware or board to make accesible from the USB port. Anyways I guess I can harvest the 2 TB drive. Thanks again

imdfonz - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

well done!!! we may need to have video and reusability of the component

or buding software to make local cloud

I am very interested in a hack. Maybe raspberry pi?

Paul Margraff - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I've been trying to figure out a use for the LCD touchscreen of the Lyve Device.... The LCD seems to be a PJ050IA-01J and when I did a search online I found this: http://www.panelook.com/PJ050IA-14A_Inno...

It seems to be a match other than the -14A vs -01J suffix difference...

If I can just figure out the signal interface it would be nice to reuse the screen with some other device like a Raspberry Pi or even an Intel Compute Stick...

Signal Category : MIPI

Signal Class : MIPI (4 data lanes)

Input Voltage for Panel : 1.8/5.4/-5.4V (Typ.)(IOVCC/VSP/VSN)

Interface Type : FPC

Just found this on aliexpress... it seems that the LCD panel is similar to the one used on Doogee X5 Max cellphones... here's a link for the screen

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Doogee-X...

However the connector doesn't seem to jive...

Any way to keep using the Lyve Home as a digital photo frame with the photos already on the internal hard drive now that the service has been discontinued and the unit will not link to a wifi signal?

holysmokes6 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

What size hex screws are used on the bottom of the case? I'm trying to find the proper size driver to use.

Ed - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I unscrewed the entire device using a screwdriver T5

revolution90 -

anyone see a JTAG or serial port for this?

Roland G - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Is there any way to make this a normal NAS without needing to login to Lyve? Worst case, remove the HD but it would be better if it can be used with the various ports, RG45 and SD reader.
