Convert: Laptop monitor to standard desktop monitor
« on: July 13, 2010, 12:40:25 PM »
Hello everyone,
I've got a laptop monitor that I salvaged from an older laptop. See, here:

It has these connections on the back of the panel, which are standard laptop connections I'd assume. See, here:

What would I need to do in order to connect this to a standard VGA or DVI port, assuming it is possible?

Thanks.

I'd stroll into Radio Shack and/or a local PC repair shop to see if this is doable...
I'm sure it is.

    I think you need the controller for the LCD screen. I ran into that problem with that project.

    I had an old Compaq and the controller was soldered to the motherboard.
