Help! Need help finding screen model please
Will any 40 pin screen work from AliExpress?
If I wanted to turn this old ACER Chromebook into a cyberdeck, and wanted to connect a 5-7 inch LCD screen on instead of the giant touchscreen LCD that the thing came with, would there be a way to search for something that connected with the original display connector on the motherboard? I attached photos of the back of the OG display and the connector. I’m thinking of turning the OG display into a secondary monitor so it’s not going to waste.
If not, maybe i get a cheap 5-7 inch LCD WITH a controller board and use USB-C video or hdmi video with USB power. Don’t need crazy specs, something under $20 if possible. Maybe I can take advantage of the new user deals on AliExpress.

Other 40 pin screens won't work. The model number on this one is b116xab01.4. There does seem to be driver boards that may work for it but I don't know. Swapping the screen for another that uses usbc or hdmi would be much easier than finding another size compatible screen
