Laptop screen?

I have an Averatec 3250 slim lap top with a 12.1" screen. The laptop has a faulty battery and power supply, and it's really annoying. So I'm going to teach the female of the dog species a lesson by taking off the screen.

But I don't know if a laptop screen would work, and 12.1" is pretty big for a portable. So if it doesn't work, would someone trade me the screen and/or the whole lap top for something like an 8-10" screen (I want to try to make a laptop style portable)?

The lap top still works good if you have it plugged in and if you don't bump the cord.

No, too new. Unless your going to make a convertor (good luck).

Sorry, he's right: the screen is unusable for portables. For further information as to exactly why you can't, read the 2nd sticky at the top of the Portable Screen Hacking forum.

Can a converter be bought?

Not likely. Maybe if you live in Hong-Kong...

if it doesn't accept composite, svideo, component and stuff like that, it won't work unless you have a converter circuit. you can't really find one. ................I wonder...........does mouser have one...........????
