the whole display is pretty weird. im sure if someone is clever enough to work from the schematic you can see which connection does what. its just finiding a display of similar characteristics and working backwards. theres a few i think are hackable but time is thin round here. Good luck envisionelec, ill be buying a display when you work it out.
Really? Your chips have logos on them? The chips aren't made by seiko/epson, so I'm wondering what you're seeing...
We can't go by the schematic; it is much too generic. The whole board had to be reverse engineered just to get the manufacturer. Another step was taken to verify this manufacturer with 100% accuracy. We then put it to the test by powering up and putting patterns on the display apart from the mpc. That's the video.
We've found a suitable replacement display. It will be a few more weeks until we have the displays in-hand with code written to communicate with the mpc. I'll keep the updates coming.
