Hi!
Well, to start this, I bought a ACD for 15$ at a local (clothing XD) store, they didn't know what was that screen or if the screen even works as is pretty hard to test because of the ADC cable.
I couldn't test it too but I bought it because I thought It is an interesting item (It is).
later, I looked at some documentation Apple documentation Archive, and got to the conclusion that the ADC (as you may know) is a DVI-D (single link) cable, pretty impresive tbh. The point is that I knew HDMI is just an updated version of DVI-D, so I thought that transforming that ADC cable to HDMI wouldn't be that hard, so I started studying the device, cables, etc... , I also helped my self with fehervaria thread of tinkerdifferent.
With the information that I recollected I made a table for "translating" pins of HDMI to ADC. BTW: I decided to not use the USB hub of the screen as it is a 1.1 HUB, but If you want is not that hard to wire up an USB to it.
After "translating" pins I cut the cable and took out the insolation (is pretty robust tbh)
Here is the table, colors are not exact but can be a guide for you
I did it by using my multimeter, I recommend to make a personal table of your HDMI cable pins and cable colors because HDMI can be different.
I also did some testing so I can test the cables and pins later, I found out this
the one that is not named is pin 16
FYI people, this is also the USB HUB cable, but I didn't make any testing on it because I didn't wanted to do it.
Well, the next thing to do is just some soldering and cable cutting. I'm not documeting this because I have no photos of the process hehe I'm sorry
I put appart the DC cable so I can put something like this:
and then plug it to a DC 24V (at least 3AMP) converter
I tested the display with a Regulated PSU and it is alive!!
