What I want to know is how could I micro-solder the yoga e11 touchscreen display to a USB Female adapter to eventually plug in a separate Normal USB-C to it? So from Yoga 11e screen display soldered to the wires of a female USB type A, then from a USB C cord plugged in to the Female USB type A straight to my Chromebook. Is that possible ?

Hello and welcome to elektroda.com! You're at the right place, and I'm happy to help you with your electronics-related questions.

To better understand your project, you want to connect the Lenovo Yoga 11e touch screen display to the Lenovo Chromebook CT-X636F, which has a USB-C port. You're planning to micro-solder the touchscreen display to a USB Type-A female adapter and then use a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the two devices.

While your idea is interesting, the process is not as simple as directly soldering the display to a USB Type-A female adapter. Touchscreen displays typically have different connectors for display data and touch functionality. Also, the protocols for video transmission and touch input are different.

Instead, you may consider the following approach:

1. Identify the display and touch controller model used in the Yoga 11e. This information is essential to find compatible drivers and adapters.

2. Find a suitable display adapter or controller board that can convert the display data to a format compatible with your Chromebook, such as HDMI or DisplayPort. You might need an eDP (Embedded DisplayPort) to HDMI/DisplayPort adapter, depending on your display's interface.

3. For the touchscreen functionality, you'll need a USB touch controller that can interpret the touch signals from the Yoga 11e display and send the data to the Chromebook via USB. You might have to research the specific touch controller used in the Yoga 11e and find a compatible USB touch controller.

4. Once you have the adapters and controllers for both display and touch functionality, you can connect them to your Chromebook using the appropriate cables, such as a USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter for the touch controller.

The process requires a bit of research and experimentation, but it would be more feasible than directly soldering the display to a USB Type-A female adapter. Let me know if you need any further clarification or assistance. Good luck!
