Very Interesting Birt!

For the NEC PC-8300 the LCD cable is different?
My Wish is to make somehow an Adapter, so the old PC-8201 LCD Modules
could be connected to NEC PC-8300.
As i understand, only the connector is different and PC-8300 LCD
utilize 2 newer SMD ICs instead of "Thru Hole" ICs in the PC-8201

As I mentioned a few weeks ago I had been hunting for replacement FFC
cables for the T102 KB and LCD. Ones of the correct length and pitch
are available from Mouser, but the MOQ was 1,000 pieces! After a lot
more searching, I found some I could get in smaller quantities. The
original cables have an extra strip of 1/8” (3mm) plastic stuck to the
back side of each end to make it thick enough for the connector. After
some more searching I found some self-adhesive UMHW tape and
painstakingly applied it to both ends of each new cable, so they are
direct replacement for the original.
 
Of course, the problem still remains that sometimes the connectors
themselves go bad and are much too tight and can damage a cable (new or
old). I’ll be testing some replacement connectors in the near future.
