    Hi guys, i'm new here!
    I need your help.
    I'm fixing a netbook: old motherboard is dead.
    I found a motherboard fully compatible except for the video interface
    I have this type of interface

    but my screen cable need this other type of interface

    I have no idea of what type of standards are they (maybe some types of LVDS standards?)
    There is any adaptator to solve the problem?
    P.S. I can't just change the screen cable because the screen case is not in conditions to be opened :vbbiggrin:

    linktoweb, you need LCD cable for 1005TA with according connector. You should google if the panel you have was used with the notebook you pulled motherboard from, or offered as compatible replacement, and, if not, compare panel pinouts.

    Both motherboard belong to the netbook "Asus eeePC 1005HA-H"
    This computer was commercialized in 2 versions with the same specifics, except for the fact that the second version has a different battery capacity, a revision of motherboard and a different O.S.
    This is the reason because i accidentally bought a different motherboard (i forgot to see the serial number...a letter was different :vbbiggrin:)
    So LCD panels of both netbooks are the same
    You said I need an LCD cable, but for me is difficult to change it because previously, to repair the screen case, i attached it with glue.
    So i left that metod as the last solution.
    This is why I need a socket converter (but I don't know if it exists)

    I don't believe a socket converter exists. You'd need to swap the LCD cable entirely, unfortunately, as far as I know.
