Is it possible to connect my laptop's LCD screen to my desktop PC? If so does anyone know of a good tutorial for this?
I'd like to use my laptop's screen as a secondary monitor on my desktop PC. My laptop is dead and I was hoping to put it's screen to good use rather than throw it out. By dead I mean that it just won't boot at all. I believe that either the motherboard or the chip is fried and I don't have the $$$ or time to replace them.
Answer
My original comment was "Well, you did mention the laptop was not working. In that case it is not possible to get that laptop screen to work with any desktop. The only input that lcd takes is the laptop video connector. I have never even heard of anyone making an adapter for that."
There is no official way to make it work the way you want. My advice would be to sell the laptop for parts as there is a good chance someone will be looking for a replacement screen. Then you can use the money gained on the laptop to buy a second monitor. I know it is not what you want to hear, but that is the way technology goes sometimes.
