Hi guys,
Basicly I bid for a laptop lcd screen on ebay then realised it is v dificult to get it to go to vga and won the bid - lol
N e how,
I understand im going to need some sort of controller to get it so that i can have a vga connection plugged into it.
Is there a cheap way to do this? I have no idea where to get a controller or exactly what else i may need.
If n e one has any advice please share ! 🙂
Thanks
Chris

You can ask these guys about a controller for that panel.

I have been kicking the idea around for a while now about useing a Laptop LCD and a A/D controller. I have a few differnt panels that would work perfectly if I could find someone to sell me a controller at a reasonable price. YOu are probably going to have to spend at least $180 or more. But I think the beauty of
a stand alone controller would be the ability to just get another panel on Ebay for a few dollars when your LCD panel goes "TU".
I have been talking to these guys but they havent gotten any controllers in in the last 3 months.

Also do a search in this forum, I think zardoz uses a laptop lcd and a controller. He got his from Spectrah.

I think the model he was using was pci though. For me the regular VGA stand alone would do just fine.

Well if it's an older TTL LCD, I would look into www.earth-lcd.com
Since your in the UK, definately check out www.tridentdisplays.co.uk
From the sound of you first post, I thought you spent a ton of money on it. Glad to see you got it for cheap.

when you get your panel let us know what chips and maker you
can observe.
I have a panel from an IBM 600 13.3 inch and I suspect it is similar. Mine is not on the list at the site I posted
Mine appears to be LVDS 20pin but I have yet to match the house numbers on the chip to anything useful.
TI-texas instruments chip 144 pins-housenumber
TI makes timing and LVDS receiver chips but all the ones I have located are 100 pin -grrrr
if the chipset could be identified then reverse engineering may be possible.
