my asus L2 died some time ago... then, when i was free 1 night, i decided to gut out all the parts from the laptop... found a lot of interested things.....

i'm wondering if there is a way to make the lcd screen to work for my pc...

i bought an external hdd casing for the hardrive (20GB), now it's my removable storage... nothing much...

I'm also expecting some1 to tell me wat to do wif the processor (i supposed it's a P4 1.6) & the ram (Kingston DDR 400 ValueRAM)

if it's ok, i'd like to ask for tutorial to make the keyboard and the touch pad to work for pc...

p/s: try not to be too harsh on me for i'm not very familiar with electronics

ur ram definitely not useable coz ram for laptop is SoDimm and pc is Dimm and the length is diffrent

ur laptop skin definitly is reuseable, it just that u have to google the wiring diagram. i thin from there u can do the extension of cable of power supply N VGA.

yeah the lcd need to find the tech documentation and the rest is only following the black & white paper only

would be nice if u can wire it to your sidepanel

Yeah sure u can mod it...
I think i saw someone here did it b4 back long time ago...

Need to findout which signal cable to solder to make converter

wat can it display once i wired it the side panel? as a secondary monitor?
any keywords to suggest where i should google? would definitely appreciate any suggestion given.

anything u want to display la....usually cpu health status...like proc temp and fan speed or maybe ur potrait photo oso can

try laptop lcd mod. lotsa interesting results came up in google

thanks guys... u guys r being really helpful...
but the lcd controller is too expensive for me now since i'm a little over budget at the moment
how 'bout selling them? to some1 who needs replacements parts...
i can let go the whole set with ram & cd-rom plus all that parts that come along for RM150-RM200 say... (no HDD because i've taken them out, plus who would ever wanted a 20gb old hdd anyway)

how much is the LCD controller?

I think there's no neccesaty to get the LCD Controller. u can mod the ribbon on the LCD.

i also have an old copmpaq that died... did exactly the same as u,.... just that i still duno how to wire the lcd.... if can i would love to learn..but no guides... haiz....

Put a cheap USB case on it, you can use it as temp storage.

so ex.. any other cheaper way beside using lcd controller?

everything i caught from google was too "technical" and getting the wiring diagram for the laptop was either expensive or unreachable website. Decided to give up the set to a computer recycle shop & see how much the trash worth...

LOL. poor thing. Go google it and give it a try on how to reuse the LCD. But then , if total cost comes up to RM 500 , u can literally forget about it unless u got too much money in ur pocket to burn.

hey.. do u still have the cdrom from ur asus??
i need the caddy..
