I was thinking about buying one of these used from a buddy of mine. Was wondering if there is by any chance a plastic or plexi cover or anything to prevent the lcd from directly being scratched or if the lcd is right out in the open? (His is pretty scratched up..) Thanks for any info. And keep up the good work on the project.
theirs nothing protecting the screen, its just lcd and then the backlight, so i wouldnt recommend buying it well it does depend on how many scratches, you can always try ebay.
oh this is 4 anybody who tries dismantling this screen u gotta remove the speaker plastic mesh to the screws under it or u will break your controller board or your lcd.

ok i found my light source its a 300watt halogen, though its still not 4 sure because this thing gives off tons of heat but it also gives off tons of light.
heres a pic of the bulb.
I'll me mostlikely switchin lights though this thing gets way too hot like i can cook and egg in a pan above the light. Anybody know a bright a and cool and small but cheap light source
