Flir scout tk lcd replacement
« on: June 20, 2026, 02:15:04 pm »
so found a scout tk a couple years ago that had been run over with a car and the lcd was damaged I was able to verify that it did still work.  the lcd and ribbon cable was thrown away by mistake and this has been sitting in a drawer for a couple years.  is there any way to hook it up to a tv or pc.  I have not been able to get it to connect to my laptop but i think its an issue with my laptop drivers. Or is there a lcd that i can but and 3d print the case to put this back together2845086-0

If you find an LCD driver IC on the PCB that is made by KOPIN, you will need to look up the data sheet for that IC and find  the KOPIN LCD module that matches it. They are not easy to source.

KOPiN A220/221 driver IC data sheet in case it is of use.

This thread may also be is some interest. It relates to a different model of FLIR SCOUT but the units may share the same, or similar LCD panels.
