Tested with B089AW01-V.0 and HSD089IFW1-A00-V1.0 on a breadboard. I'm sure it will work with other displays from old netbooks.

Overview

Pico2lvds is an open-source printed circuit board by ceteras, from the ceteras/PicoLVDS repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 98.5 × 82 mm with 43 parts on 63 nets, routed with 386 tracks and 15 vias.

It is built around the SN74LVC245APW, LM1117T-3.3 and BC337, with the IRF9540NS among its other parts. Its parts include 14 resistors, 6 capacitors, 5 connectors, 4 transistors and 4 switches. It belongs with the RP2040 and RP2350 boards of this library.

Tested with B089AW01-V.0 and HSD089IFW1-A00-V1.0 on a breadboard. I'm sure it will work with other displays from old netbooks.

This pcb was not tested yet!

Do NOT build if you're not confident in debugging electronics. The LVDS cable needs to be hand made, there is no commercially available cable with this layout. I plan to build mine using the cable from the original netbook, if and when I'll get the pcb ordered.

Good luck!

Questions

How big is the Pico2lvds PCB?

It measures 98.5 × 82 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pico2lvds use?

43 parts, built around the SN74LVC245APW, LM1117T-3.3, BC337 and IRF9540NS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Pico2lvds KiCad files?

From the ceteras/PicoLVDS repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad_project/pico2lvds.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad_project/pico2lvds.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pico2lvds design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
