But last week I dropped mine and the screen was damaged by impact with a sharp object. Half the picture is gone now. I opened the case and found that the screen is is labeled as a Boehydis Nt156whm-n12, which is a common laptop screen which is
widely available.
But will a laptop screen work in the television? My research was inclusive but the 30 pin Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interface is pretty much a standard, so I rolled the dice and ordered it. I'll know next week if it works. If it does, the TV will be back in service for about $45. If not, a new one will be about $117.
If I do go with a new one I will be looking for a different model. I like some aspects of it including the smaller (16 inch) size which makes it easier to store, and fact it is
sold as RV ready (i.e. tolerant of variation in the 12 VDC power) but the connectors are hard to use and like most small TVs, the sound leaves much to be desired.
