Converting a laptop screen into a "normal" screen

[Eaxexe]

Hi there

I've got an old Acer Aspire 9300 lying around with a burned-out motherboard.
I've been meaning to convert the screen into an actual useable screen (if at all possible).

I have been googling it for the last hour to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?


Thanks in advance

Obviously, you'll need to separate your laptop's LCD from the rest of the laptop. After that, you can now find out the LCD model and manufacturer. You'll then need to get a converter card and wire it to the LCD so you can use it with other computers. Pretty complicated stuff no doubt, but I think once you find out the LCD model you can google for info.

I wouldn't think it'll be that easy.........but you could always try. You'll probably have to take the whole laptop apart, but the monitor is probably connected to the motherboard using a propreitary connection.

HI again Thanks for your answers, I removed the screen and found out that it's a "Chi Mei N170C2 LO2" screen.
Like this one: http://www.ecplaza.net/product/173314_898311/laptop_lcd_screen_n170c2l02.html#none

But I can't seem to find a controller :S Anyone know where to buy one?

Hi again

Just found out who manufactures the Controller Board for my screen.
It's these guys: http://www.spectrah.com/product/lcd_controller_board_arv_1700/arv_1700.htm

Does anyone know of a place where I can buy from them as a "Private person" and not a company?

Best Regards
