Can I use my laptop as a second monitor for my desk computer?
Is it possible to connect my laptop's LCD screen to my desktop PC? If so does anyone know of a good tutorial for this?
I'd like to use my laptop's screen as a secondary monitor on my desktop PC. My laptop is dead and I was hoping to put it's screen to good use rather than throw it out. By dead I mean that it just won't boot at all. I believe that either the motherboard or the chip is fried and I don't have the $$$ or time to replace them.

The only input that lcd takes is the laptop video connector. I have never even heard of anyone making an adapter for that. – Troggy – 2009-08-17T20:40:33.683
If the laptop is DOA, it's still under warranty, I presume... unless it means something other than Dead On Arrival. – dbkk101 – 2009-09-01T17:57:04.160
Define please 'dead' in this instance. Won't power up? HD trashed? Can you get to the bios? Boot from floppy/CD/USB? If it can run code to some degree you might do something with it. – Michael Kohne – 2009-09-08T13:27:43.090
