    LQ10DS05 - Is Anything Possible?!?

    I've recently taken apart an old Dell Latitude XPi as it stopped working. After much messing around, I've discovered the display is a Sharp LQ10DS05 10.4". The laptop itself is dodgey, it sometimes boots and sometimes sounds a beep code.

    I'm wondering if ANYTHING practical can be done with the LCD, it seems such a waste to throw away a perfectly decent piece of kit. I've attached some photos of the plug on the screen and the socket on the motherboard if it helps.

    I understand it's difficult to get a VGA signal to LCD but can anything else be done with it?

    ANY help or technical info would be much appreciated!

    Regards,

    Alex O'Donnell

    you'll need a controller for the LCD to convert a VGA signal from your comp to a digital signal the LCD can understand.

    (www.earthlcd.com but the controllers are expensive)

    Is that a Dual Scan display?

    If so the screen is not worth it.

    I got the Active Matrix version of that screen. The 10.4" TFT lying around here.

    Biscuit PC?

    I'm not sure if it's Dual Scan, what's the easiest way of telling?!?

    I was searching for more info on the LCD screen when I came across the range of Advantech Biscuit PCs. Which apparantly have built in LCD support. The screen is mentioned in the description of the PCM-4825/L, unfortunately this page is no longer available but google has a cache of it - http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache...LQ10DS05&hl=en

    Does anyone has any opinons or experience with these mini motherboards?

    Thanks,

    Alex
