Is it possible to repurpose the touch screen from a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro?

The bare screen removed from Creality's control board has markings, but they have thus far brought no joy. I thought perhaps there would be a generic control board. I am not opposed to using Creality's board attached to the screen, but I assume that will take more knowledge than I have or than it is reasonable for me to acquire in a short time. I would not mind building the control board as a project from an Arduino or Pico, as this would align with my pedagogical goals. Still, if there is a simpler way to utilize it, I could then use it as part of a different learning project.

  • small cable markings >> 1HRS0473307B
  • large Cable markings >> FPC-HYS0430BE027A V3 LDX
  • metal enclosure markings >> HYS-043BT5S2P002 V3 / N20220604FL (I assume this last sequence is the date designation)

You can try to reconnect the screen to the original mainboard (e.g., Creality 32-bit STM32 board).
Reflash firmware on the screen via SD card (copy DWIN_SET or similar folder to FAT32-formatted SD card).
Reflash mainboard with firmware (Marlin, Klipper, or Creality's stock).

I wish I could remember the name, but there is, I think, a standard Linux way to connect to the screen. Once you know that, digging into the repository for that should tell you what you need to know.
Sorry, that is ALL I know.
