okay if i have a laptop monitor ONLY, no keyboard or anything like this:

how would i go about making this work JUST for a monitor in the car? to use as a video signal? i asked this a long time ago and no one knew the answer really, just how to trasnfer a whole laptop to a video signal. i am using JUST THE MONITOR.
i was thinking i could find the power wire, wire that to a 12v then ground to ground and then find the display/video wire and rig that into a RCA cable to use as a video signal.
discuss please....

woops, lets try that pic again:

can't be done. vga monitors are not a single wire input. buy a regular monitor if thats what you want. why try andmake things complicated...

http://www.geocities.com/p9019/lcdpanel Not the greatest site, but it'll give you an idea. There's no super easy way of just hooking up an lcd panel. Good luck though!

Good fucking god. We've been over this and over this. ITS NOT POSSIBLE to just "hook a wire here" and "connect a wire there"

jeebus.

Like I said in the last lame post...

www.earthlcd.com. you need a VGA controller and some sort of power supply. not cheap and not worth it.

if its not possible, thats fine, thats what i needed to know.
i emailed some guy selling one on ebay and he said there is 2 wires coming out of the monitor and 1 plug. he said the plug could be plugged into an inverter though....??

Yeah an LCD Inverter. For the backlight bulb.

It's sooooo much hastle trying to make an lcd work that doesnt have a VGA driver already, that its not even worth thinking about trying.
