Re: OT Convert laptop screen to flat monitor?

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Stuart,

The chances are that the interface is digital or in some modern units,
LVDS.

If it is digital, and you know the manufacturer of the display, you can
get
a PCI interface to drive the digital interface or you can buy a VGA
driver
for the display but the are not cheap.

Do you know the part no. and manuf of the display?

Dave...
