Lightbulb Converting Sony Laptop LCD for use on Desktop
Hey all!

I have the remains of my POS Sony PCG-GRT-100 laptop.

Many have said for other companies "you need a converter board, it will never work, blah, blah, blah".

But the number of wires coming out of the screen is the exact number for a DVI connector, plus 2 more (+VDC and ground). It seems easily feasable to me. (Thank you Sony)

Here's the thing. I need to know which wires on the screen do what.

OR, if anyone has the schematic for Sony's Nvidia graphics cards, that would help too.

Anyone have the info I need? Thanks!!!

It would be cheaper to buy a LCD monitor than to convert the laptop LCD. I've been there.

Anyway, exactly how many connectors are there? It may not hurt to experiment a bit.
