I've got an older laptop computer that I don't use anymore, not really worth anything. I was wondering if I can salvage the screen and use it as a monitor for a multimedia install in my car. The screen is in good shape and it's about 15" diagonal. I just don't know anything about hooking it up to a source unit. Has anyone out there ever done that or know where I can turn to get info on how to do it if possible?

I need to convert laotop monitor too!... bou like i know, this is not just a question of 2 DC supply wire and a composite or s video wire that are connected between the laptot screen and the rest of the laptop... i had occasion to disassemble 2 or 3 of those and each time, thae was like 50 to 100 small wire ahving SAME COLOR!!... i thihk that the video card is generally on the motherboard...
anyway... if you find the way to use just the screem of the laptop to use as multimedia monitor (like popular 5 to 7inch tft monitor) POST YOUR SOLUTION!!!
