Re: Recycle Laptop Screen!

Why not recycle it. Have it become your the second TV in your home.
You need an inverter, a driver board, and connect those wires. You can
DIY your own LCD TV. Here is all the stuff you need: a case, a
inverter, a power adapter, a VGA cable, and a driver . Different types
of LCD panel use different driver and connectors.

Driver panels could be a bit expensive (and unobtainable without expensive shipping) for this project, me thinks. Be cheaper to buy an LCD TV!

If someone knows a web source with a good cross index for laptop LCD compatible panels just state it here. The 360 webpage is sadly lacking that all important info....

Thanks
