Make VGA monitor from notebook LCD

I have an HP NC6220 which has a 14" 1024x768 LCD screen.
This computer is junk because the mobo is defective.
I'm wondering how I can adapt the LCD screen to be a vga monitor.

Are there any guides for this type of project?

 

good luck with that, it's not easy.

 

lol then forget it, it's not worth it.

 

But you might have fun. And I would like to see how it goes

 

So... I'll wait and see if anyone else posts something. I don't really have any idea where to start. If this requires me to buy anything I won't bother.

 

Talk to someone like KTron or crazycanuk. I'm pretty sure they did something like that when they were bored....

 

Ahh yes, I'm sure Ktron has

 

He's probably gone one better. Turned it into a lazer beam.

 

I don't need anymore of those I don't really need a 14" monitor, but if this is possible and not tooo hard, I'll try it. I was actually just given a 19" LCD monitor 2 hrs ago it has a teeny dim spot about the size of a fist, no big deal.

 

It can be quite expensive... Laptop monitors use proprietary connectors, and the only places you can get the necessary adapter is specialty enthusiast shops. Most of the time it'd be cheaper just to buy a $200 desktop monitor, and you'd get a much bigger screen too.

Of course, you could probably make the adapter yourself, but I doubt that'd be easy

 

I doubt it, I have no experience in circutry and very little in soldering.

 

You'll need something like this: http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/lvds-vga-r10-p-10904.html

But even then there are not guaranty that it will work.
