need help w/ pinouts

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

hmm... does it have 1 circle pin, a few small ones, and then 2 circle pins all inside of it?
If it does then it's a SUN connector.

Nope, it's got 26 pins, hdmi only has 19.
It's not DFP or LDI either....

It doesn't look like an LVDS either -- too big.
Buy it, open it, modify it ;-)

で、交換後ですが、光量はかなり明るくなりました。しかし、交換した冷陰極管は元々紫っぽい色のもののようで、画面に赤みがかかっているのが気になりました。まぁ、これはPC側で色補正すればある程度改善するのでヨシとしましょう。余談ですが、液晶モニタをお店で見比べると、機種によって白色の部分の色の違いが目立ちますが、あれって冷陰極管の色によるものなんですね。
Looks like gobbelty gook to me
