Can I use the test cable for display from S8 to S9?

The iFix it store sells a “Test Cable for Display” for the S8 phone

Galaxy S8/S8+ Test Cable for Display Assembly

I’m hoping to be able to use this on the S9. It seems to work, but I have some trouble some times.

Can anyone say if using the S8 cable for the S9 phone is completely nuts? or can you say that there should be no difference?

Thanks,

Santiago

I believe the display cable connectors are different so unfortunately that cable won't work.

thanks, that is what I fear, even though I get it to work, it shows some strange behavior. Do you know how to identify the connector in order to buy one from a generic electronics store?

@titoalfaro What exactly is wrong with your S9?

@ajcooke01 oh, nothing. I make/hack-together my own novel displays, and I have been using the flexible screens of the edge galaxy phones so for my testing I use the cable. But I was not able to find a cable for the S9 only the S8. manually counting the pins, it looks like the connectors would work, but I was wondering if there was anything deeper going on that I didn't know.
