    hi all,
    I have a screen B156RW01 v1. I have downloaded the EDID text file on github ( AUO01EE)
    I also followed the command file on lubuntu to convert the txt file to bin file. But when I test it with edid-decode it gives me a blank file
    Can somebody help me and share the bin file of the B156RW01 v1 screen?
    That would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot
