Discontinued-panel replacement strategy
Separate immediate stock requirements from the long-term redesign plan. Secure traceable material for service demand while qualifying an alternative with controlled drawings, cable changes and sample testing.
Compatibility checklist
- Confirm 5 V panel supply and complete LVDS map.
- Compare active area, outline, depth, mounting and connector location.
- Verify backlight input, enable, PWM and driver requirements.
- Review brightness, viewing characteristics and surface treatment.
- Test startup timing, image mapping and long-run stability.
RFQ and project information
Include the original label, equipment model, controller, cable, required quantity, annual demand, destination, date and whether electrical or mechanical adaptation is acceptable.
Frequently asked questions
No. LVDS mapping, supply voltage, mechanics and backlight requirements may differ.
Not necessarily. Availability must be checked by date, quantity, traceability and condition.
No. Complete system and sample validation are still required.
