ill have to look into that

btw welcome to the forum
its never too late to jump in this thread as this is more of a cumulative knowledge database

time to work my assembly skills

wont work, it's a difference in the electrical signal, like trying to plug in a parellel printer to a serial port,

AFAICR LCD's from laptops and such use TTL or tmds? signals, but what u can do is get a really cheap laptop that works but needs a new battery/power or drives.. and just use it with an external usb storage device... because the signal from the laptop should be good for a 10 foot run from motherboard to the display if good cabling is used.. and since ur running it off ur car anyway it wont need an inverter just get the pinout for the battery... should work on older laptops..

Well what about using an RCA cable like a tv, im lookin to put a monitor/tv in my car so the quality can be kinda sketchy.

thanks for the help in advance
or Svideo

Both RCA (composite video) and S-Video are analog connections while the laptop screen utilizes a digital connection.

Hi, i plan to buy a second hand junk laptop (like 486) and replace it's motherboard+cpu with a newer Celeron@800+mb i happen to have unused. I'm ready to enlarge laptop's box or whatever it takes to see it done. Any hints on what s/h laptop to pick or what will be needed like special videocard?

Hi, does any one here have a Dell Laptop LCD to work with a PC? I have three Dell laptop LCDs (C800, CPt, CPi) but I need help converting it for PC use. Any information would help. Thanks
