My Kobra 3 is placed on the shelf, and I struggled to use the screen.
After this modification, the screen looks right to me.
The adapter should be printed on the "cut" for the best layer orientation. I require just a bit of brim.
Necessary stuff to make it work:
- (optional*) 41-pin FFC FPC cable, ~250 mm length. The necessary modification has "Sony" in the name and is 24mm wide from the side. Although I bought one with sockets on both sides, I disassembled one.
- A few M4 screws and nuts
*Note: It could probably work with the stock FPC cable, but I already had one. Besides, it could be too short. I have installed a 300mm one, and it's a bit long. But it "nicely" folded under the fan.
Steps to apply:
- Unplug the screen cable and unscrew the screen from the hinge.
- Get rid of the bottom printer cover, use hex to unscrew two screws.
- Unplug the existing cable, or fold it to reverse it if you haven't bought a new one.
- Screw the bottom cover back.
- Screw the poligonal side of the adapter to a screen as on the photo two.
- Now, use M4 bolts and nuts, and assemble the rectangular side of the adapter to the hinge.
- Plug the cable.
