Hi everyone!
This is my first post here.
Yesterday I finally gave my MPC1000 a proper upgrade with new pads and buttons.
When browsing our favourite MPC part source I also considered a new screen but they seemed overpriced to me – so I did some research with alternative parts from China.
What I found (and ordered) is this:
https://www.buydisplay.com/default/graphic-lcd-240x64-module-display-ra6963-fully-compatible-with-t6963
...which seems to run on the same controller and has the same specs.
The only thing that seems to be different is the amount and order of pins (see attachment of original and replacement).
Pins only present on the replacement are:
#21 — LED_A — Backlight Anode(+5v)
#22 — LED_K — Backlight cathode(0v)
...and pin #9 on the original pinout needs to be switched with pin #20 on the replacement.
Has anyone here tried something similar? How would I handle the two extra pins on the replacement?
I would be happy if anyone could give me a little hint
Best
Enton
