Where can I order LCD controllers?

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

Where can I order LCD controllers?

Post by diy_guy »

I know what your gonna say, it's a laptop LCD from an old laptop. But I've seen the controllers out there that will at least allow me to use it as a second VGA monitor with my PC. I can't get them on E-bay (none on there right now anyway). I just want to know how much one might cost so I don't get ripped.
The screen is from an old Clevo Win2000 era laptop. It's a:

The laptop is dissasembled trash now, I'm still scavenging parts from the mobo and perifrials.

PS These screens have 2 Wi-fi antennas inside the case that have the same connector as a PSP wireless card. I hooked one up to mine and got a pretty decent signal boost!

The only place was Ebay but that seller is no longer doing it.

I have a source but it costs around $50 for the controller and sometimes you have to send the Lcd to China and pay for it to be shipped back.

So it's really not worth it unless you have a special need and money is not an object.
