working LCD but broken monitor HELP!

[bennyx8903]

hi everyone,

this is my first time building a projector. I decided to go with the OHP approach, and purchased both a second hand 15 inch Dell monitor, and a used Dukane 680 OHP.

So i took apart the dell just fine, but when i reconnected it together, i made a mistake by not connecting the backlight, and something blew up.

so im pretty sure the LCD it self is fine. But surely certain parts of the monitor is broken now that i won't turn on.

anyway can I purchase some VGA thingy, and connect it to my LCD?
basically thats my question, any way to still use the LCD.

i only care about VGA connection

thanks
