    How do you use a Laptop screen?

    I pulled the screen out of an old IBM thinkpad. It is a TFT screen I believe as it this is written on it's connection cables. How do I use one for an LCD screen in my car system? I've seen posts about using them, but what I want to know is: what is needed to use one, and how do I do it?

    Thanks

    Michael

    1st: search for info on the board
    2nd: write down the model-nr of your display and
    3rd: contact Datalux to see if they have a controller card which will communicate with your screen..
    4th: order controller card
    5th: connect the display to the card using the Hirose (search) cable
    6th and last : play with it and have fun...

    Mind you.......
    these controller cards are NOT CHEAP (ie. $200)


    (sorry, i'm in some kind of wacky mood.... had to much fat and food-colouring-stuff at lunch at work.....)

    But basically..
    It's not cheap if you want full-colour-hi-res-video-display in your car.

    Good Luck
