bobgts Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I just took apart an apple laptop from 1994, because it had some problems and I wanted to keep the old LCD screen and maybe do something with it. The problem is that I don't know how to arrange the 15 color-coded wires to make it VGA compatible. BTW, if it isn't possible without a voltage meter, then just tell me. I'm at college, so all of my real gear is at home. Order: 1 x White, 2 x Gray, 2 x Purple, 2 x Blue, 2 x Green, 2 x Yellow, 2 x Orange, 1 x Black, 1 x Red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 hmmm.......they change all the time and it also changes depending on the make/year/power of the screen. I will ask some people about it for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinal Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 that sounds like a good idea so your taking the screen off an old laptop and using it for something else that would be tight if you mounted it to the side of a com case and then you could take you com anywhere.

bobgts Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 My idea isn't original though, I saw it on a case in some other forums. His played MST3K episodes constantly. It was awesome. The only problem is that the connector used in this laptop is not DVi or VGA, so I need to figure out which wires correspond to which VGA pins so I can build a connector that will work with my comp.
