Turn your Laptop monitor into a LCD TV

I have an old Notebook computer for more than 5 years. Because I use it
often, the notebook finally has some problem occurred. The most
important thing is that the plastic case between notebook and monitor
broke. I spent 120 dollars have those problem fixed. Recently, my
notebook was dead. I visited computer shops try to get some help. I
believe that my computer can be fixed, but it will cost me a lot of
money. While visiting those computer shops, I found a lot LCD monitors
for sell. An idea crossed my mind. Can I recycle my notebook and turn
it into a stand alone LCD TV or LCD monitor? But I did not find any
accessories in the shops.

It's a bad luck. Am I wrong? Can't it be possible? I went home and
found some tech information about the differentiation between a
notebook LCD monitor and a standalone LCD monitor. The different is
that the standalone LCD monitor accept analog signal from a PC because
it go with a AD converter. The notebook one is only digital signal. So,
the notebook LCD monitor can not be used directly. It needs a converter
to convert the analog single into digital signal. Also, I need a
inverter to activate the CCFL(lamp).

So, the theory is simple. If I got a converter and an inverter, and the
connections are correct, I can DIY my own LCD TV. I searched the net
through YAHOO, E bay, and alibanet. Finally, I found a company which
sell LCD accessories including LCD plastic case, inverter, and the most
importer one the driver which convert analog signal to digital signal.
Different types LCD panel use different driver. I sent my panel picture
to him. See picture 1. The red circle is the model number. It is very
important to tell sell in order to give me the correct connector and
driver board.

For more information, please reply.
