Laptop monitor on a desktop

[JBotAlan]

As far as I know, the connectors on a laptop screen are proprietary and I don't know of anyone who has cracked this.

A quick Google showed that if you are nuts and ready to find some sort of analog-to-digital converter, you just might get it to work. Here's one page I found of particular interest:
http://360.yahoo.com/profile-1MjY.As...Fzkb0HaN3v2LIR

It doesn't look too helpful because I don't see much info on that page, but it does look like he got it working.

I don't know, see what you get when you google it.

I have tried selling it before but i always got scammers buying it. Ehh, I guess another try wouldn't hurt. i mean 8 people got out bid....

Oh BTW I already have a pretty nice westinghouse 19" widescreen. I guess it is time to get the second one i have wanted

Well, if you're willing to put up with alpha software and some frustrations in networking...

You say there's burned-up power transistors; how old is this machine? You might have a better shot at replacing said burned transistors.

Just a thought.
