Nowadays we find a lot of e-waste, and some of them are PCBs that are directly scraped because they malfunction. Now specifically speaking about the LCD display, while manufacturing these displays many errors can occur which are unknown to a naked eye.

when kept in the light they fall black this is one way to find the damaged boards. so today we will make a lamp with these PCBs. They look really attractive after finishing.

Supplies

1. damaged PCBs ( LCD board )

2. translucent acrylic sheet

3. 2 pin connectors

4. 3.7 v battery (optional power supply)
