Connecting dead laptop/android tablet displays to raspberry pi

rohan.bhamre

i have a dead laptop with 15 inch display and an old lenovo tab 3 7 essential.

There is an idea but i don't know how much of it is possible. can i disassembly the android screen out of motherboard and connect the ribbon cable to raspi will it work?

also can i use 15 inch display directly to the raspberry pi will that work?

  • Indeed, I did connect an old laptop display to my Pi - that's my still unfinished project referenced by

     

    I used a cheap LVDS driver board to interface with the LCD, and it has HDMI input to allow direct connection to the Pi's HDMI output.

     

    So, my method and the other linked by Mike take care of converting the Pi output to the LVDS signal the Laptop LCD requires.

     

    The android screen could possibly be driven in the same way, but you may have more difficulty finding a compatible driver board - they're searched by screen model number - and cater for laptop screens mainly.
