DIY Laptop Screen to Monitor

[Cyrustom]

Well...my old laptop's motherboard just fried, n i know my lcd panel on it still in working condition.

And i dont wanna waste it,so im planning to covert it into a monitor.

Is there anything i need to know before starting this project?

Make sure you find one for your laptop's specific panel, sometimes others will work but it's always safer to just go to eBay and search the model number of the panel and "controller board".

Yeah, unless you like tinkering and DIY stuff, it's cheaper and easier to buy used monitor. Controllers are $35 last I checked.

That looks like it will work. For the power adapter, find one on this store that is the correct plug and (input) voltage for your country.
