I have an old Laptop that I have no use for, I also can get my hands on an overhead projector. (I've seen this done before) I am planning on removing the LCD screen from the Laptop and building a little frame for it to sit on the over-head projector with proper cooling so then I can have a projection monitor for movies and vidgames in my living room on my GIGANTIC wall (my ceilings are 15-16 feet up). I have one lil' problem though.
I know SHIT about Laptops and circuitry and all that hoo ha. I am handy with a soldering iron though, so how hard would it be to solder on a VGA port or any video port onto a Laptop screen. (just the screen, the rest of the comp is getting trashed, oh and im not into getting a standalone LCD screen because this is free)
oh and to those who thing this is another one of my wash brain projects that never go through... well it is, sometimes they do follow through, others they prove to difficult for me and I toss em'.
The idea is basically exactly like this
oh and if you think there could be a better light source that is more space conscious, please give input.
