the panel is still working, i have tested it with the original laptop. the laptop is a piece of ***. but we don't need to talk about that. Thank you so much for the fast replies! I am amazed to be honest! ;)
Also, is there a place i could buy this in the USA?

Not sure if you can buy this in the US locally (I'm in the UK) but the seller on ebay ships worldwide AFAIK (in fact the listing is in US dollars so I assume they will ship to the US).
I remember (from when no converters were available on ebay) that there were a few offers for these converters on other websites from the US from companies who deal in embedded and industrial computers but these were so expensive (around US$200) that it was much more economical to buy a new flatscreen monitor. ;-)
But of course you can have a look around. There were a few links a few pages back in this thread.
This has got to be the longest running thread on any forum ;-)

Lol it definitely is the longest running thread. I think the first page was in 2005?! Wow! I am just glad its still active and there are people like you that can help me out! I am getting into electronics (freshman in college now), and have been building computers/websites/programming, and now I want to learn electronics. If I can get this display to work properly, then I will make it a touch screen and embed it into the side of my computer, (custom as well). But again, thank you for your help.

hehehe, yeah, I had the idea as well to make it touchscreen. I wanted to install the display next to the bath tub instead of a few tiles and have a touchscreen music centre for the bath. But the touchscreen kits are really expensive and I haven't seen any for 14" panels. On top of that bath room and electricity don't go together very well.

Even with my novice electrical knowledge I am familiar that water does not go well with electricity. Haha! Well, not novice any more. 3 years in high school. But that bathroom thing would be amazing! Do you have an msn/aim/yahoo? it'd be much easier to talk heh

http://politea.sk/tmp/20092009215.jpg
* the top cable should be the data
* the one most right, should be for the micro
* and the one/2 on my finger, should be the power for the backlight (they were connected to the wireless card, i dont know why...)
the data connector looks like follows
http://politea.sk/tmp/20092009217.jpg

Good Day!!!
I've been trying to get information on the process of recycling notebook LCDs but i havent had any luck. I'm trying to get the Pinouts or Schematic papers for 2 Toshibas 10" LCDs LTM10C035K and LTM10C286.
I'd like to enable those as external monitors with vga cable, I've read about people that has been able to do it successful.
At this point this is the most complete forum regarding the topic and after reading the 15 pages and seen all your work on this, i'm convinced that it possible...
Any help will be really appreciated!!!!

Hey everyone!
Glad to be here reading about what you did with your laptop LCDs.. My laptop's graphics card died 2 weeks ago. Now I've taken everything out of the case and kept every useful piece. I got the screen off too, what's different about my screen is that it has a build in camera in it and although I didn't open it just yet.. my question is..
COULD WE GUYS TURN MY 15,4'' LCD SCREEN INTO A FULLY DIGITAL MIRROR?
That would be fun I know, but I'm just kidding.. ok.
My plan is to use the lcd screen on a typical desktop pc, with a dvi output on the vga.
So, from what I've read above, I need to open the screen's cover and check on the info included? Is that correct?
Here are some photos I've taken of the LCD Screen and connectors:

Wow, this is a really informative thread. It basically answered all my questions by READING ALL PAGES. I would like to thank everyone for there posts to help us. I am going to order one of the converters from ebay asap. I already asked the seller if my LCD was compatible and they said it was, so I will cross my fingers when it gets here and post some pics when everything is connected and running.
By the way yesyes, that is one sweet set up you got going there.
I already have a dual monitor setup but am looking to expand it to like 3-4 screens, I multi-task the pc to death and the more viewing area the better, as I dont like switching from window to window all the time. Again thanks to peeps like bytedawg, kreyon, yesyes, without all your help we would all be lost.

As it turns out, I acquired a 17" LCD panel which uses TMDS as its input. So I guess i would only have to splice a DVI cable directly to the ribbon in order to supply the signal from the pc to the panel?
The only problem is that after reading the spec on DVI output, it says that the supply voltage is 5v. The LCD requires an input voltage of a maximum of 3.5v.
I guess i would need to supply the LCD panel from another source in order to power the internal circuitry?
I have a copy of the datasheet for the LCD panel if that will help.
Any suggestions?

I pulled a Samsung LTN152W1-L01 from a dead laptop and did the same for a Samsung LT121S5-105. I am planning on buying a controller for both of them. I believe the ebay auction yesyes posted will work for the first one, but the second is a 12.1" screen and the controller kit is for 15" screens or larger. Does anyone know where I could get a controller for the LT121S5-105?

Manveru, ask the seller on ebay if the controller supports your panels. I use the controllers with 14" panels. So there is a chance that they also support your 12".
