LCD Help

[Shadeslayer]

So I scavenged a 7" TFT Panel from an old broken Korean portable DVD player and was wondering if anyone could help me on this (seeing how I don't know anything about LCDs).



I still have the all the internal parts and marked all the ports and corresponding ribbon cable. Is there anyway that i could hook up this screen as a secondary monitor on my laptop? I know that it is very small but I have an idea. Thanks for you help.

No.

figured as much... so is there anything that I could use this screen for?

Use the controller that it came with from the dvd player if it has a video input.

Well actually, you could use it as a monitor I think.

If the controller board for the screen has video input, you could buy a VGA to composite video converter and then run that into the video in. Or buy an Svideo to composite cord, and run svideo from your PC, into the screen.

It has no input into it. It does have the following though:

USB capability
SD Card slot
Composite video out
2ch audio out
headphone out.

So... this project was a failed one... wasn't it? lol
