Electronic – LVDS 30 pin cable confusion

laptoplcdlvdsmonitorpins

I'm trying to salvage a Samsung LTN154AT07 LCD from a laptop.
I've ordered an MT6820-B rev.3 universal LVDS driver and a 5A step-down module (XL4005), and I think I have a decent grasp of how everything goes together (there's already an inverter on my LCD). I'm following this tutorial: http://sites.google.com/site/lcd4hobby/lcd-tft-as-pc-monitor

The problem that I am having is with the 30-pin cable. I found the pin diagram for the monitor, and also the pinout on the MT6820-B, but the abbreviations for the outputs/inputs are completely different on each. I was hoping that perhaps someone might be able to help match them up so I don't fry the monitor. Once I know what goes where, I can rewire the 30 pin cable. Even if someone can help match up some of the wires it would be a great help.

The image below shows the LTN154AT07 LCD pin assignment on the left, and the MT6820-B controller on the right.

Here is a link to the LTN154AT07 monitor's booklet in case there is some info missing from my image:

*edit: here it is in question form:

I am trying to connect the controller on the right to the monitor on the left with a 30-pin LVDS cable. Can someone please help me decipher which pins from the monitor go to which pins on the controller card?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Cheers,

-Gabriel

First of all set 3.3V supply voltage with jumper, as @Andrew Morton wrote in comments. Connect signals in the following manner:

  1. All pins marked VSS on LCD (1,10,13,16 and 19) to GND
  2. LCD supply VDD (pins 2 and 3) to VCC
  3. First differential pair: RxIN0- (pin 8) to O0- and RxIN0+ (pin 9) to O0+
  4. Second differential pair: RxIN1- (pin 11) to O1- and RxIN1+ (pin 12) to O1+
  5. Third differential pair: RxIN2- (pin 14) to O2- and RxIN2+ (pin 15) to O2+
  6. Clock signal differential pair: RxCLK- (pin 17) to OC- and RxCLK+ (pin 18) to OC+
  7. Pins 4,5,6 and 7 are used for EPROM identification chip on LCD, but Your driver board doesn't use that feature, leave these lines unconnected, do not connect to them to GND, nor to VCC!
