Intuos5+15inch retina panel

[bumhee34]

Hope this is first successful build on 15" retina wacom tablet.

It's completed! Yeah!

Let me start my build log.

Here comes the longer eDP cable.
See? it's longer than original eDP cable.


This is test with new eDP cable.
It works well


I desoldered every small LED lights on the tablet, since it would be trouble when I attach the display module.
Though they are soooo small, it would be better to remove them.


I cut the rip on the top cover to have enough space for the board on LCD.


I used dremel to coup(?) more.


A hole for the eDP cable.


Shows the usage of the hole.


Screw holes for the display board.


This board is no more available... I am lucky to have this.


Ground points for the board, this will be attached on the metal sheet under the wacom tablet.


Using strong double-sided tape, the display module will be attached on the tablet.


Attach it!


Ground point on the board of the LCD.


Combine the top cover.


And then 0.7mm tempered glass is attached, the glass is already printed on inactive area.
It costs a lot, but it is worthwhile. (around 150$)


Final shot!


More..







The back side, I will make housing for the board later.



Thx bongofish!

Can the display controller be powered by USB port on a laptop?

[Aerendraca]

Very nice! I told you you'd be the first to get this finished and so beautifully too. Nice work!

I can happily admit that I'm quite jealous, I haven't been able to get any of my build done for a while now - too many other commitments.

How is it for jitter? Is it lovely working at such high resolution?

@profaldo- no the controller can't be powered by USB as it requires 12v and at least an amp to drive the panel.

As Aerendraca said, nope.

Thank you very much! I am expecting your resut soon

And, luckly no jitter at 56 Hz in my case. It works wonderful  

Thx again!

I was looking at this:
http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=47

I think it is made by the same guy, Rozsny. In the description it mentions that the board could be powered by a 5v USB. I thought that bumhee used the same PCB. But I looked at it again, and that is not the case.

Bumhee - Fantastic build. This looks really really awesome!

Oops, I tag the youtube link. That's on blowest part of my build log

It's a very short video, but you can briefly look at it.

Great work! I would kill for one of these.

[DonShole]

Very beautiful indeed!  Well made.

Quick question regarding this build Bumhee34, do you still use it?

It's been almost a year since you finished it. I was wondering if it still works ok? I'm coming to the end of my MBPR build now and I'm looking at addressing the LED heat issue, but I notice that you didn't seem to tackle this with any specific cooling solution; would you have added cooling if you could start over?

The Intuos u used was large or medium???

[DaBotz]

Medium => 10"
Large => 15"
Extra large => 21.5/22"

This is a 15" (more precisely, 15.4) so it is an Intuos Large.
