Leave a penny. I managed to use the original apple inverter board for full brightness control together with the chinese control board. In this scenario the chinese inverter which comes with the controll board is not used. The pins are basically described on both boards. From the China control board the ADJ goes to PWN and the BL_ON to the BL_ON of the Apple inverter. Furthermore, the 12 V pins and the GND pins are connected to the respective 12 V pins and the GND pins on the Apple inverter. The brigthness can also be regulated via the menu of the Chinese Controller board. However, the adjustment bar in the menu is now strangely inverted.

I have the same issue on vita slim. After disassembly totally change the main board to another vita slim, and the problem do not occur in the same way. Exemple: 1- in the original vita slim with this problem, it only shows when some application uses GPU, like a game or a app using FTP (Vitashell). 2- After change the main board to 2nd vita slim, game plays well for some time, like 2 or 3 minutes and after that it hangs and show error saying it will "....shutdown [******]" 3- Replace back all pieces to vitas, reinstall firmware via safemode (on the problematic one), but after install fresh new firmware issue continues.

Great project. I'm converting my 2011 27" iMac too, right now i have internally 7usb 3.0 hub, iSight camera, DVD drive, SD card reader, lcd controller board+chinese inverted, original apple speakers with crossovers, ram door has right now 4 buttons to control the lcd driver board and the original powerbutton control the power.

In the future i want to put original headset jack working, add 4 usb at back panel, HDMI port, DP port, USB A upstream port but considering im using the monitor right now as a daily driver, i dont want to spend much more time finishing things (at the moment)

Very happy at the moment

Thanks for the tutorial, i’ve changed the batteries on a European model Philips Series 7000 All-in-one Bodygroom Pro, and works like a charm.

I’ve used GP AAA 800mAh batteries and it worked even better than original battery pack.
