I never understood these. Arch has always been rock solid for me and in 10 years or so I have never had to chroot to fix an issue. The most annoying issues have been related to PGP signatures or old certificates but those have been easily fixed.
What is it you people do to your arch installs that fucks them up so much?
Pretty sure you'd only have to spin half that fast, you'd get two magnetic cycles per rotation. Though if you flipped one of the magnets (or better yet, removed one) you'd need the 1575+ million rotations but get a stronger radiation (I think, though not positive).
The connector on the PCB is called a ZIF (zero insertion force) connector. Normally they are specified by the number of pins, the pitch of the pins, and whether there is any locking feature or “ear” on the sides of the ribbon cable. It looks like a standard latching connector made by any number of companies.
The ribbon cable looks like it is custom designed for the display’s electrical pin out and the mechanical design of the enclosure.
If you can figure out the mfg of the display itself, you should be able to figure out the ribbon cable pinout.
I know a fair bit about connectors and circuit fab, but not an EE so hopefully this helps!
I added a picture of the panel, but as written in the other comment: no manufacturer to see - at least to me.
At least pin-count-wise, the driver I linked above should fit, and all e-ink displays for hobby use do seem to be driven by SPI, but whether it’s the “same kind” of SPI and pinout…
Hey, I am not 100% sure but from other screens i have seen it is probably to boost power. One of the open source ereaders has a little chip that is similure. It is probably a spi display. Do you have the model number of the panel?
I don’t have model number and there are zero indications to who manufactured it. I added a picture of the backside. That’s everything readable on the panel. Nothing else.
