LOL, sorry, but it often can't be done. You'd first have to get a schematic to show you which wire does what, and then you'd have to try and correspond most of those wires to a DVI cable. Good luck!

chip id: THC63LVDF6
anyhow thatz only the chip, not the LCD schematic.
LCD model is: Hitachi TX34D61VC1HAD with a 25 pin chip and the chip the THC63LVDF63A connects to is TX34D61VC, but after hours of googling i till haven't found a schematic for it.

You will need to take out the video controller from the laptop also. Since most of the technology is proprietary to the specific manufacturer, you'd be hard pressed to make this work.
