Installing an LCD

[Darkhate]

I have an old Powerbook 150 Display:rolleyes:

* Passive-matrix 14-level grayscale
* 9.5"
* 640x480 resolution

that I want to put in the side of my case so it can display letters or something:D

Can it be do?
How would I go about doing this?
How do I find out the pinouts for the ribbon cable?
Should I attach it to the parallel port? or another videocard, and How would I do that?

I think you may still run into the same problems.

Hope this helps...

Think this:
Don't just put the screen in there, put the whole frikkin Powerbook :D
Link them using Linux or something, and you'll have 2 comps in 1 ;).

That screen sounds old. What looks are you aiming for?

It works for me in firefox havent tried it in IE. Yeah put the whole laptop in yo would have to somehow take it off its hinges but still have it connected to the rest of the laptop so the display runs. If you do it postpictuers in project gallaries for all to see. :)
