How to Reuse the Old LCD Screen of Your Broken Laptop

This is a super simple but also very awesome project. You can turn any modern laptop screen into a monitor with the proper driver board. Connecting those two is easy as well. Just plug in the cable and done. But I took it one step further and also build a nice case from acrylic glass. Let's build it!

The video gives you all information you need to build this right. But I will give you some help to order the correct LVDS driver board.

Those LVDS controller boards are everywhere on the internet. If you are looking for a cheap one which can do DVI&VGA I would recommend this one (affiliate links):

I think the HDMI port increases the price very much. But here is the board that I used. Like I said it isn't cheap:

I used acrylic glass to build my case. But everything is possible. Why not try wood or plastic? I would love to see your case ideas in the comment section.

You just built your own monitor from an old LCD screen. That is kind of awesome.
