Hello Everyone,
I've got a Compaq x1000 laptop that is dead (motherboard or video card,
not sure). I'd like to take the LCD screen out of it and assemble a
Digital Picture Frame out of it.
My question is:
Is the connection used by LCD screens on most laptops standard? Will I
be able to take the cable coming from the LCD in this Compaq laptop and
connect it to the video of another disassembled laptop? (asuming, of
course, that the resolution is supported).
Also, anyone have ideas on what I could use to drive the LCD (other
than parts from another laptop); mini-itx might be too big, and I don't
know how I would connect the LCD cable anyway.
Appreciate your help!
