ahh.. ye olde laptop LCD question...
generally, you would need the controller card to get it to work with VGA (what a computer screen uses) and there isn't any known way to get it to work with composite. If you're an electrical engineer it's probably possible, but it'll be more trouble than it's worth. This should go into the pocket tv hacking, though.

if i found it how would i get it to work? and how do i which one it is? is it like a chip? there is one area were the screen connects and there's a vga out would it probably be around there? thanks for all your help, and sorry I'm such a noobIf you're lucky, you might find it near the screen connector.
The the constroller card is often integraded into the laptop's motherboard. It isnt a chip. If you luck the card is seperate and you can use it that way. Otherwise of your looking to get a card to use with it (thats compatible) earthlcd.com had a larde inventory that you can look through.
Like Spongebuell said it will be more trouble to do this then just buy a ragualar lcd screen (much cheaper too).
