Can I use old Laptop LCD screen for invehicle use?  I don't see why not since all you need to do is provide power and a signal.  What would be invovled.

Laptop LCD screens are just like VGA monitors. You will need to get your +/- Sync wires, R/G/B Wires, and whatever else. They are not just VIDEO monitors like made FOR cars, they are just like a PC monitor, with all the wires it needs for the video signal.
You would first need a Composite to VGA adapter (sold for using XBOX and stuff on your PC monitor), then you need to make a wire harness for the LCD screen. It's not worth it really.
VGA PINOUT:
Red 1   NC   9
Green 2 Ground   10
Blue 3 Ground   11
Ground 4 NC   12
Ground 5 H Sync   13
Ground 6 V Sync   14
Ground 7 NC   15
Ground 8
As you can see, the 15pins required for VGA is much more involved than just a RCA jack.
You would have to make some kind of adapter, and the LCD screen uses a ribbon cable, you would then need to figure that all out.
In short? The answer is NO. . .

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
