LCD Controller Board

iGeriya · 26 Jul 2013

Hello people !

I have no idea where to post that topic, but I believe since it's pure hardware stuff that it belongs right here.
I'm trying to build myself an External Monitor since I'm desperatly in need of a second monitor.
I disassembled and retrieved the LCD screen from my former Laptop wich was an ASUS. And I can't find for christ's sake any LCD Controller Board for this one ... no where, not even Ebay.

Manufacturer : AU Optronics ;
Model No : B156XW02 V.0 ;
Dimension : 15.6" ;
Resolution : 1366x768

From an Asus Laptop which I forgot the Model No, but it's from Sept 2009, Intel Dual Core & stuff.

Now. Please, someone tell me he knows where I can get one ... Please please please please please please

21min after I post it. And I spent a whole evening looking for one ...

Big thanks !

Most welcome

Wait, I have one last question. The title of the offer on Ebay says :

LVDS VGA LCD Screen Controller Board Kit for 15.6" B156XW02 V.2 V.3 V.6 V0

I ask for a V.0 ... and this V0 I don't know what it is ... I've read many times this V0 while searching the internet, and don't know what it is ... I first thought it's just a missing dot, but in the end I'm sure it's just not about a missing dot between the V and 0. Don't wanna play it "freak", but I'm scared to end with an uncompatible product.

Being from china (outside EU), check your customs. Might add some fees.

if you look down in the compatibility list:

Compatible Models:
B156XW02 V.0
B156XW02 V.1
B156XW02 V.2
B156XW02 V.3
B156XW02 V.6

first line is your screen, if what you posted is correct.

All right, I feel like a pure dumbass now. But it answers all my questions. Thank you Boba.

No problem. I'm curious to know how you will turn this in a monitor though.

I mean ok it will work, but it's still a naked laptop screen attached to a naked circuit board. Needs some skeleton to stand upright and a casing to keep them safe. Might want to invest in a broken LCD monitor of the same screen size to fill with your hardware.

Although duct-taping everything to a wall will work.

Btw, if the laptop was still working and you don't need to game on this setup, this program will turn a working laptop (connected to the same network) in a second monitor.
