Hello there i have a problem i have the LK204-24-USB-WB and i want to connect fans on it. the problem is power to the fans, lets explain.

on the back there 4 fan heders below that there is a jumper (default on hp)
below that is the ecternal power conector to put on a 5V modded floppy cable as 12V is a as your display will never work again (i know )
well when i connect a fan on 1 of the fan hedders well nothing happends when i switch the jumper the fan is its doing somthing but it turns way to slow now when i connect the 5V modded floppy cable well it doesnt mather as the fan is going faster and when i put the jumper back the fan stops working at all.

Note : the fans i use are 80mm cooler master blue light and the light isnt working at all.
note2 : i also use Coolermate CMT-ALF-8BL and with this fan the light does work but not enough rpm's

Hello...

What you should actually be connecting to the white power connector is an unmodified floppy power cable. The color orientation is red/black/black/yellow.
For the fans to run at top performance you must have the jumper in the "HP" selection. This will enable the 12 Volt rail from your power connection. When the jumper is moved over one position, your enabling the 5 Volt rail. For further information please refer to the manual or feel free to post!

ok i used a modded 12V floppy cable but to put it softly that didnt work and to put it less softly i blowup my lcd and well now i got me self a new one.

but to get to the point i have to ise a un modded floppy cable and keep the jumper on hp ok and my disply will continu to work?
just asking to know for sure becouse my previous experiance ..

Note it was a bad experiance but all to my own fault so no blame to MO

Yes, I will emphasize this again....DO NOT use any other type of cable then your UNMODIFIED floppy cable please!!!

ok ill will give it a try but it was on the cd of the first display i had that the floppy cable had to be modded and when the 5V mod didnt work i tried the 12V even thou i knew it cold go wrong i just had to try it

wow its working thanks mate you have been a good help

just 2 question left:
1. The fan's start spinning when lcdc starts and not when the pc starts is
there a workaround that thy start when the pc is on?
2. how many fans can i put on 1 Fan hedder?


you guys give great support for the ppl with keep up the good work.

No Problem...!!!

1) Praobably the easiest way to do this would be for you to email me and I'll send you a software program that will re-initialize your memory chip file. Included in this file, the high powered GPO's will be turned on at start up!! This will change your module to factory default settings. My email addy is myero@matrixorbital.ca

2) Each high powered GPO can handle up to 1 Amp of current. Check the current ratings of your fans...

cool wit my fans i can conect up to 6 fans to 1 Fan hedder as the fans are 0.15 A X 6 = 0.90A way cool not that i need that manny on 1 fan hedder

and i have send you a mail hope to see a mail back soon with the program to use as i need it as the fan of my watercooling is also conected to the display and now i cant just boot and walk away now i need to logon and start lcdc and thats

thanks and thanks for the great support

Email is one it's way...!!!
