    Question Laptop screen

    I have acquired the screen off a laptop, is it possibly to somehow plug it into a spare dvi port on my 8800GT?

    Re: Laptop screen

    Consider selling it on ebay, not sure how much it will fetch but buying new replacement laptop screens is very expensive.
    If I remember correctly HP charge £350 for a replacement screen for an nx6150 which only cost £460 to buy in the first place.
