[Fwd: Old plasma display] - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

22 Aug 1998

I'm looking for some info on old Panasonic plasma displays.  For those
of you who have computers that use them for sale, I might be interested
in paying a reasonable price for one just to get a working display so I
can measure the voltages and get all of them working.  I have the
controllers for the touchscreen and would especially like to get that
working.

(Forward of message I also sent to Panasonic and ELO:)

 I have a couple of old Matsushita/Panasonic plasma displays (about 10
 years old I think).  One of them has an Elo touch screen.  I was
 wondering if you happen to have the power supply voltages for the plasma
 displays?  The power connector on one has 3 pins, and on the other has 4
 pins but only 3 of them are hooked up to wires on the cable.  The
 polarity is marked, but not the voltages themselves, only "high voltage"
 vs. "low voltage" and I'm wondering how high is high?

 One display has the numbers
 MD400F640PD5
 9.5.3     C:153536

 The other:
 MD400F640PD4
 8.1.2     T-7050

 Or, if all else fails, can you tell me what kind of computer these would
 have been used in?  maybe I can find some archives on that or find one
 of the computers for sale somewhere.  (I'm suspecting a Compaq
 lunchbox?)
