well you could see if you can get a schematic, or wire out on the panel and see if you can add a hddb-15 male end to it, of course having the appropriate wires going to the right pin-outs.

I can't remember the details but I helped someone recently who was trying to fix a laptop by installing the screen from one laptop onto another laptop. Both the same make and model I believe.

The replacement screen wouldn't work, and I introduced the person to Steve Scarisbrick, who deals in secondhand computers and laptops. I have his number if you want it!

Steve said that are problem was the screen drivers in each laptop was different, this is why it wouldn't work. Even with similar models, the screen driver can change and cause problems. So it may not be a simple operation. Just thought I should let you know.

Dan dan daaaaa there is always hope

If you still want to do this you can get an LCD controller board, you'll need to know the exact make and model of your panel then head over to here and you'll be able to get a model number for the board.

These guys don't sell direct by the look of it but they seem to have plenty of distributors.
