How can I use this old LCD on my computer?
Hello, I have an old laptop that I have disassembled. The TFT LCD panel has been successfully removed from the casing and disconnected from the actual computer. Left is a ribbon cable and some circuit boards on the back. How do I take the ribbon cable and hook it into my new laptop to run a dual display to extend the desktop onto? If possible, I would like an inexpensive way, but if not just say so. Thank you. By the way, I think it is 1024x768, but I am not 100% sure.
By the way, it is an LP150X2 (A2) 15.0" XGA (M7). It still has the controller on the back.
If you have an electronic engineering degree it should be possible, but in general...No. Laptop LCD's have electronics and circuitry designed for the computer they were in and trying to get them to work in another computer is not all that easily done. Also for the fact that laptop computers are not designed for two internally driven monitors. They do have an external VGA port for an external monitor that you can hook up for a dual monitor setup if you wish. But there is no inexpensive way to do what you'd like.
Best of luck.
