Not going to work, they use a laptop style video cable with a ribbon connector, unless you have the full diagrams you won't be able to use the monitor section.

There's not a single ready made connector on the planet for what you want to do, it's all going to be done by hand.

Is it possible? probably? is it easy? definitely not.
You can buy a 19" LCD panel for $100 that will do that job, the time and effort to do what you want even if you have the skills needed is over $100 worth of value.

I'm all for innovation, but unless you're very skilled with the existing laptop technology in the IQ770, this is a huge job.

So Lug, Did you have success with this? What can you tell me, any pictures or diagrams to share?

Acidforum, Same thing, since you have been through the exercise, crossed wires and all, do you have any diagrams or advice that could help those of us still interested in giving this a shot?

I too have a TouchSmart IQ775 with a bad video card. I really want to mount just the screen to the wall also and hook a small form desktop to the thing.

sounds like something would have tried if any would of succeeded,

question is that touch screen still on sale at comp usa? hell of a deal!
