Question: How to use an used laptop display as a flat monitor on a Desktop PC? I´ve got a unusable Compaq Presario Laptop. Motherboard just doesn´t work anymore. I want to rescue its 14" LCD monitor by adapting it to a VGA connector and a external DC power supply. \n\nThe cuestion is... I don´t know exactly how to. It would be great if someone has the wiring diagram or any information... Greater if somebody gives me instructions.\n\nThe laptop has a Trident video adaptor, don´t remember the specific model. For details I can check my laptop.\n\nThanks

Answer: Trident?  \n\nare they still making video cards?  I haven't seen one in....10-12 years I'd guess.\n\nRegardless, you would need to consult HP/Compaq for wiring diagram, though I doubt they still have it.....but you don't know 'till you ask.\n\nI seriously doubt that you will make this work unless you know how to solder....and well.
