Greetings... first post here.

I have a camera, a Nikon Coolpix 950. It still works, perfectly. Anyhow, I took it apart today to see if I could separate the twisty halves and insert a long data cable inbetween the two for use in astropyotography. I beleive I could with enough effort, but onto the real question... While it was apart I ecided to check on the viability of using the LCD in another project should something "fatal" happen to the rest of the camera if the above project ever goes anywhere. I know already that there would probably be difficulties in doing this, and will probably not be feasable.

I did not dissasemble the electronics, just the external metal housings to get a look at where and how the two halves of the camera were joined electronically. While it was apart I took what information was availiable on the LCD itself. It is a Sanyo screen, 2" (130k pixels). The only other thing printed on it was 210CCX 926A04A. I was not able to see anything that resembled a controller for it on any boards.

Can anyone help me find into on the screen? I have tried a few wearches on the net but came up empty. Any suggestions on where to look next?

<edit> The connection between the two camera halves is a 3 lead 24ga wire, easy to make an extension for. The other (data) connection is a ribbon cable that attaches via a small plug, looks like 24 connections, 12 on each side. Would it be possible to make an extension for that? Sorry, no pic of it (thought about that after reassembling it...).
