Mounting a laptop screen in a 2002 Compaq Evo
New here to these forums, I have spent a long time building and fixing computers, and modding them. I also have spent a lot of time working and tearing down electronics to make new stuff..blah blah introduction to my electronic background. This will be a long 1st post
I can help people out here with a lot of stuff, and can share a lot of stuff but we will get to that stuff later on in the future.
My current computers are a modded Dell XPS Studio 16 gaming laptop, an older Compaq EVO Desktop that will be a fun computer for more test modding like in this thread, and an old Toshiba laptop that blew a hard drive and most of the motherboard. As well I have a water-cooled modded phat PS3, Samsung 40'' 3D TV system, and a 1300w Home Cinema..enough with that stuff.
Here is the help part / project info.
I am fixing up this old desktop Compaq computer to use as a server and other stuff, and I am interested in mounting the screen from the broken Toshiba laptop in the case panel. Here is where it will begin. I easily have the ability to do this, I just need help with wiring and other stuff relating to connecting the laptop connections to the desktop.
I know this is a tricky thing, as laptop screens are much different from external desktop monitors, but you can tell me what you think and I will keep refreshing this thread with updates when I work on it.
I will get model #'s and photos here soon enough lol
What do you think, I think it could be a fun challenge..and I have nothing to lose here on this one
