("Post answer" doesn't seem entirely relevant but the only button there....)
I'd be thrilled if someone could post some sort of guide on sourcing a LCD that WILL work for the mod. I'm confident in my soldering skills and I have swapped parts around on things in the past in a similar fashion. What I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of is what LCDs will make suitable replacements for the chip swap to even work.
I just put a new 2TB drive in my Core Duo for barely over $100, and I have a C2D processor chip on the way for $10. I'm working hard to get some new life into my machine. It works great with my 37" 1080p monitor, but I'd really like to get have a 2 screen set-up again.
So far, I've been told specifically that the 875-2052-x DDC' panels are not a candidate because they are the wrong type.
'''How do we find ones that will work? What other machine models would be suitable donors, or where to find other makes/models that are compatible?''' A list or guide would help everybody, whether they swap chips or buy the convenient convertor kit.
Thanks,
