Could the LED backlight strip ( without inverter board) be used and powered with arduino?
I am new to electronics so forgive me my ignorance. But I understand that inverter does change dc from laptop to ac to power lcd. So I am not sure if the led stripe can be powered by dc from arduino. Also it needs 20 V which in arduino case would need external power source since arduino can provide 5 V max. Or is it even possible to power it straight from arduino using only 5 volts?
The connector to led stripe has 9 pins and is labeled:
8FR9B3FS
8FR3A202V
I want to use it for arduino / artsy project. When I broke my laptop screen, I disassembled it out of curiosity and from the waste I created this (orthodox icon inspired) saint of technology. LED backlight strip is used on halo around saints head and (since I want to make this interactive with arduino) it would be very cool if halo could shine.
