How can I connect a Raspberry Pi to a DVD player screen?
Asked by

I'm working on a project to convert a DVD player with a TV chip into a Raspberry Pi setup that can watch TV. I've hit a snag because I can't find an adapter that connects the flat cables from the monitor to the Raspberry Pi. Any suggestions?

You might want to explore using a GPIO header on the Raspberry Pi for a direct connection if you're comfortable with soldering. Check the specs of your monitor to see if it supports that kind of setup.

Have you checked out HDMI to LVDS adapters? They can sometimes work with older screens like the ones you find in DVD players. Make sure to look for one that supports the resolution you need! A lot of people have had success with these.
