I have an old ipaq 3950 that i messed up by trying to flash a linux boot rom to and now will not boot at all.... Would it be possible to hook this up as a display and also keep the touchscreen facility also. while i understand that this may need some extra software/hardware to actually implement i would be interested to see if it was possible... |

Yes ofcourse, find the datasheet and you can build the proper LCD controller for it. For the touchscreen you can find a suitable controller once you know it's specs. |

If you open the unit you might find some type markings from the lcd that might lead to more information about the lcd used. |

I wouldn't use that ipaq for spare parts just yet... even an ipaq with a corrupt bootloader can be un-bricked. Compaq will do it (for a fee) but it's cheaper than a new pda. You could even do it yourself if you fit a JTAG connector to it. |

That's a good suggestion. Flashing a new firmware through JTAG should be easier than doing the hardware that would allow using the display othewise. |
