    At this point it was probably a waste of money. In order to run a laptop lcd screen you need to find the data sheets and then find an expensive controler ($200~$250 usd) in order to get it to work. If your hellbent on making it work, check the sticky in the Electronics section ( http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=44604 ) That has all the info you will need if you decide to spend the money.

    You can either sell it on as a laptop replacement part, or strip out the CCFL and the reflector sheet to make a nice backlit mod on your case side panel. :)
