On a scale of 10 in terms of difficulty... this will be a 12

You need to know/have the following just to get started.

1) What type of LCD it is...support LVDS?
2) The pinout of the connector
3) You need a controller board...this one is a major bummer.

the LCD is from Compaq notebook
cotnroller board?
i dunno anything
u can see at the picture

the LCD is from Compaq notebook
--> this doesn't mean anything as Compaq (like every brand) uses a multitude of panels from different manufacturer.
cotnroller board?
i dunno anything
u can see at the picture
--> Basically a desktop LCD monitor that plugs and play into ur vga card has 3 main parts... LCD panel (you have..notebook version), backlight inverter (you have also) and controller board ( which you don't have b'cos its from a notebook)

That's just the basic...you also need to know the pinout's of everything you have.

gimme sum idea

Dood... that's a link on how to remove a LCD screen.

Let me rephrase:

In a desktop LCD monitor. VGA card --> Control board + inverter --> LCD Panel

In notebook. Motherboard talks directly to LCD panel and inverter.

You don't have the control board which translate what the vga signal says to the panel.

Finding a control board is the difficult part...else I would've done it already

Edit: Ok...done some googling for you. Have a read here:
