The screen is complete with housing. The whole thing is about 1cm thick
making it a very nice compact screen.I have the rest of laptop if I did
need any additional components.
However I have taken screen out of housing too find inverter at bottom.
I would think that by connecting power and vga or dvi lead too panel
nothing further is necessary.
Did you read *any* of the technical reasons I gave why this will not work?
The signals are incompatible as I already stated. I'm sorry if it isn't what
you wanted to hear, but again- There is no DVI input or VGA input into a
laptop's LCD panel, so you will not be able to achieve what you want. The
laptop's graphics system has a special interface the panel uses, you cannot
just attach a DVI cable to a laptop panel, plug it into a graphics card and
expect it to work, it simply doesn't work like that.
You're probably thinking your laptop panel has RGB and sync inputs, am I
right? If so, you're way off target. No such inputs exist on a laptop panel,
so how do you expect to get it working? The most you will achieve is getting
power to the screen, which is straightforward enough. But what you are
trying to do is like attaching a TV aerial to a computer monitor and
expecting to get a TV picture on it!
Of course, you may disregard or disbelieve the advice you requested and were
given, your decision.
