Im trying something similar... is it possible to hook in an LCD that was previously connected to a Dell Inspiron to a Second source out on an Onkyo Receiver.
I have ideas in my head how this would work... but Im not sure.

not sure what an Onkyo receiver is. Sounds like it would have component video output. In that case you need the other model of converter that has component video input instead of VGA input.
here is the seller's store:

Hi !
looks good to me.
the unit underneath the panel on the first picture is the inverter board and on the left of it are the 2 wires that go to the backlight lamp. You will receive another inverter board with the converter and it looks like the plug for the lamp will fit. The cable to the lamp looks rather short though and you won't have many options for placing the new inverter board.
The cable from the converter will then connect directly to the connector on top of the display panel as seen in picture 2.
It's best to ask the guy who sells the converters if that model of display is supported. He'll ask you for the exact model of panel and also to send him pictures of it. The pictures you posted here seem alright for that.
let me know how you get on ...
Are you in the UK as well ?

dann können wir ja eigentlich auch deutsch reden ... :lol:
but this is an English forum, so let's stick with English ... ;)
Yeah, I guess it's best to find out whether your display is supported by the converter before planning anything else ...

Hi
I have a LT150x3-126 screen from samsung out of an compay presario 1800. I want to connect it to vga or dvi or VESA but i need the pinout or the datasheet. It has an inverter for the lamp with a cable with 6 wires and a connector for the tft with 21 but only (i think) 14 are used.
Thx for help me.

There is a whole mass of good information available in previous posts that seems to be totally ignored and in soime cases common sense and logic has been thrown out the window for a float test apparently.
First off, again and I say AGAIN, all lcd displays are not created equal. For the most part every single connector design is unique and not compatible with anything else except the same dispaly. ALSO, LCD's are not directly compatible with RGB as in a video out on any ewxternbal connector without conversion compatible with the signal requirements of the display.

Ach du guter Gott... Das ist ein hornaltes Display (kann 256 Farben und laeuft mit 16 Farben) und auch hornalte Grafikkarten. Damals war noch alles anders. Heutzutage haben Grafikkarten keinen VESA Anschluss mehr und TFT panels werden mit LVDS angesteuert. Diese Anleitung wird also mit deinem Display nicht funktionieren.
Laut Modellnummer scheint dein Display die 15" Variante von meinem 14" Display zu sein. Das sollte also mit dem selben Konverter funktionieren. Frag aber am Besten mal beim Verkaeufer auf Ebay nach. Er benoetigt die genaue Modellnummer und ein paar Bilder von den Anschluessen am Display.
I hope noone on here minds me writing that in German...

Is there a chance to get the converter/controller board out of the laptop or is it on the mainboard?

there is no converter in the laptop at all. the signal is generated directly in the format the display panel requires.

oh, that's sad ... hopefully he will start selling again. I still have 2 panels ...
On the other hand, the kit I bought looks very much like the electronics from a standard TFT monitor. So maybe you can find a cheap faulty TFT monitor on ebay, say, with a cracked display panel but electronics intact. Then you can just use the electronics from that monitor, you only need to fiddle with the connectors probably.

If the lcd panel is identical this will work but if they are not of the same manufacturer or design different drivers are probably used and you
will probably find smoke or if you're lucky a scrambled display image.
Also the converter is actually on the logic board in most cases but as stated designed specifically for the unique fpd and very difficult to remove though you can find details for signals in the data book.

Hey I have a 15.4 inch widescreen LCD panel from an Averatec 6130HS-20 it has a 30 pin cable and a 2 pin cable the panel is a Quanta Display QD15TL02:
I am wondering if it is possible to first off get this to work as a desktop computer monitor and secondly if it is possible to get it to work as a widescreen one...

Hello to all!
I have a LCD panel from a Toshiba laptop computer.
The panel is the : Sharp LQ150X1LH62 with the Sharp P/N DC025031900 cable.
Also i have all the hardware from a NEC LCD1560V+ (Nec MultiSync LCD1560+).
As i checked all the pcb from the Nec monitor i found that are 3 boards.
The first is the PSU board with two outputs. One for the inverter and one for the converter.
I've got the inverter board ok.
As i checked the converter pcb i found that there is one "THine THC63LVDM83R" chip..
This is a VLSD converter chip..
Is it possible to fit the Sharp lcd panel to Nec's boards ?
Thanks a lot!
Regards

Dargon.. yes you can use it as a Desktop monitor, but you will need the converter that was mentioned above (or something like it.) and right now they are hard to find. the Ebay auction was the first real good product at a nice price found so far and I don't know yet why he stopped selling. (but I hope to find out if there is somewhere we could find where he got his stock.)
Motaba, What are you asking?
the best thing for anyone who is new to this thread can learn and take away from thins is that, yes you can give new life to you old laptop monitor and use it for a Desktop monitor or even a flatpanel TV, the only thing you have to know is that you will need an INTERFACE BOARD to do the conversion for you, if you have lots of time and a few hundred dollars you can make one yourself, if not you will need to find someone who offers them (look for links in earlier posts of this thread.) and then you need to enquire to the seller if your LCD's interface is compatible with the board. very basic and right down to the meat of this issue. there are alot of different interfaces out there these days, so each board found and described will work for some and not others, this is why you must communicate with the seller and make sure.
quit asking if it can be done already, the answer is yes, the question that we all need to work on finding the answer to is "WHERE CAN WE GET THEM"? ( the interface boards.) and where can we get them at a price that doesn't beak the bank?
and on the 7th Day God Created Man, and he looked around and Said to God, "Where the HELL am I supposed to plug in my Laptop?!?"
