Hi,
I bought a WSoD-770 some time ago thinking that I could get a cheap low-power little shell/server of it. The device worked fine and booted nicely. But I was an idiot and I threw the broken screen away without checking whether the device boots without the screen. And it didn't. (judging from the speaker)
Fortunately I have a fully functioning 770 too. Fearing I had broken the massively expensive investment (15€), I connected the screen from my previous 770 to the 770 that wouldn't boot. And lo and behold, it worked. After firing the device up, I then yanked the LCD off and the device continued working.
So the question is, what pins do I have to short on the LCD connector so that I can get the device to boot. I looked at the schematics but I couldn't figure out the correct pins. My best guess would be that there's some sort of reset pin that needs to be pulled up.
Any help would be appreciated :)
