I needed new clutch hinges for my Pismo so I won an auction on eBay that contained two sketchy LCDs and one set of hinges. So I have a couple of spare Pismo LCDs. One is supposed to be dim and the other supposedly doesn't work at all, but I have spotted a crack in the ribbon cable, so that may be the only problem.

I would very much enjoy to frankenstein something up with these. Does anyone have the spec on the connector and/or how complicated it would be to convert to something standard? The ribbon appears to have 14 conductors that hook up to the LCD's 20-pin port. There are some others that divert over to the microphone connector on the ribbon.
