Hi guys, I'm looking for any information pertaining to the hardware portion of the construction project i'm undertaking.
This i where I am at so far, I have dismantled a 17 inch screen from a gaming laptop i've been given which was broken (Motherboard fused itself tot eh graphics card). After having looked up the screens model/serial number and informing myself on what monitors need to function (to a fairly limited degree), I then purchased a control card that is compatible with the monitor. At this time the screen is sitting naked on a desk witht eh control card next to it, yet tot be connected. I am missing a power cable with which to power the card and screen, I will be informing myself of the required voltage soon.
I'm here today to express that I wonder if i am missing some vital piece of information.. do monitor control cards (which contain all teh interface ports such as power cable in, hdmi in/out etc..) require specific drivers to function, or will it all be 'plug and play' when i get the powercable! that's jsut 1 concern i could dream up.. please do say so if you have anything in mind that could help the construction of this custom monitor.
