iBook näyttö toiseen käyttö?

[Jone]

Mulla pimahtanut iBook G3 ja pohdin josko näytön voisi "pelastaa". Kun joskus vaihdoin kovalevyn sinne niin muistan että siinä oli sellainen moninapaliitin siihen näyttöön. Saisikohan sen jotenkin liitettyä muuhun käyttöön? Siis joku Vga > ibook display viritys.. Vähän virtaa ja kuvainformaatioa perään. Olisi sopivan littana matkailuautoon monitoriksi.

Tämä sivu kertoo aika paljon: http://www.applefritter.com/holygrail

Applefritterin ja MacModin sivuilta löytyy ainakin kaikenlaisia virityksiä, tuolta saattaisi irrota neuvoja:

MacModin foorumeilta löytyikin jotain keskustelua aiheesta, tosin itse keskustelusivut eivät ole enää nähtävillä muuta kuin Googlen välimuistissa:

Sadly 99% of laptop LCDs can't be easily modifyed. You would have to build a display controller, 99% of them are built into the motherboard. The ones i've came across that don't have the display controllors built in are outdated 286 ACER laptops but only push EGA in mono color and the frame rate is really bad.

Many people have asked this question, and have all received the same answer now, it is my time to pass the knowledge onto you without sounding ridiculous and epic, here goes: yes, it is possible, but you are better off buying a new display the lcd requires and proprietary connection to the logic board the parts involved cost hundreds of dollars you could probably buy a good Samsung or ViewSonic 19" LCD for half of what it would cost to buy the connection/other parts.

The problem isn't just getting a connector. The "converter" you talk about is the problem here: each normal LCD (not in laptops) has a controller that converts the display signals from the computer into the horizontal and vertical coordinates of each pixel, turning it on or off accordingly. In laptops the controller is not there as the computer is designed to talk directly to that specific LCD to save space and simplify design. Therefore to run the LCD on another computer you need a special customized controller to run it. There are of course companies willing to do this, but cost is prohibitive here: we're talking at least $200 for the controller itself, plus the cost of development etc.

Your best bet would be to find some retail LCD display that uses that panel but in which the LCD is broken and steal the controller.

Tänksit ja pliitsit! Ei siis onnistu minun osaamisella/kamoilla. Äkkiseltään vaan tuntui siltä että miksipäs ei.. Kone siis varaosiksi ja kytistelemään sopivaan LCD-näyttöä autoon.
