This is the one I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4FL014/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There have similar for a bit cheaper (~$5 less) on ebay, but they ship from China and I'm impatient.

Here is the controller that you use to convert the monitor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4FL014/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mwNSBb40YM348

Here are the usb boards that I used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FZ6QVWO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3yNSBb8KZX5J4

Here is the card with 40-pin header that I used to break out the ribbon cable from the control panel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010VTVVHA?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

The best part about not hacking the control panel internals is that you can restore it to stock if you ever decide that you want fewer games. I also have heard rumors that they are planning on selling parts so you could be lucky enough to have interchangeable control panels with the ribbon cable setup.

Here is a link to the LCD controller board I got after wasting time on a broken one I got from eBay. This Amazon one came in "real" packaging and works as intended.

Finally received the board today. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The monitor is on, but there is no video. I'm 0 for 2 at this point.

​

I just ordered this board from Amazon today -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4FL014/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

It should arrive by Sunday. I'll report back with the result.

I had 2 fraud threat / cancel order situtations from unshipped products on Ebay, and was my very first bad ebay seller experience so I can not complain too much - got my funds back in both cases. So i focused only on amazon from that point for these boards and found this worked right out of the box - I think it may be exact same from ETA Primes stellar tut. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4FL014/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought both of these and both worked

With that said, I'd go with the second one as it's Prime eligible and in the states. The first one have to wait for it to come in from China.

This is the one that I got off Amazon and it worked out of the box. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4FL014/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm sure there are bound to be lemons out there though.

sweet dude you convinced me. thanks so much for your info, just want to get everything straight before i blow a bunch more money.

ok i think this is the right video board, is it?

also an sd card and ac adapter for the odroid.

was also planning on getting new buttons and joysticks and using 2 usb controllers. is this the preferred method or using that IDE wire harness better way to go?

also, this odroid good or is there a better one?

So it looks like the board below is the correct board, did you need to contact the seller at all? I'm in the same situation as you, I bought the same board as your first one.

So is this connector compatible with arcade1up? VSDISPLAY HDMI VGA DVI Audio LCD Driver Board for 17" 19" M170EG01 LM190E02 1280x1024 4CCFL 30Pin LCD Panel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4FL014/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4XLZBbRD5A90T

I wouldn’t see why the same LVDS that most everyone is using would not work on that one. That most likely is a 30 pin CCFL as well.
