thank god someone already had the same idea, otherwise i would have suffered. thinking might just settle with saitek instrument display, until LCD's get cheap.<br>still i will try to see if any of those chinese OEM lcd manufacturers have considered selling in small quantities.<br>

work. Just buying another monitor was a lot cheaper. For some reason, small
monitors are outrageously expensive. I even tried unsuccessfully to find a
supplier for the little 7-8 inch LCD TV's they use in the seat backs of
commercial airliners. They must make millions of them and probably cost dirt.
Couldn't find any anywhere.</font></div>

<div><br></div>Thanks Rick,<br><br>Thought its just that easy, but going on to
all those trouble, it might come out more expensive to make them work. Its
always good to seek advice from expert simmers. Saved me from going all the
troubles.<br><br>By the way, been to Taipei and got this ipad clone thats a PC
for $200, check it out Moonse e-7001 called the a-pad, it interfaced with my
flight simulator.<br><br>Again thanks for the info.<br><br><br><br>

<div style="font: 10pt arial;">Good luck with that. They are all so
different. Then add ribbon cables to the equation. What do you mean by
broken? The cases? Or are they fried somehow electronically.</div>
<div style="font: 10pt arial;"> </div>
<div style="font: 10pt arial;">Most of those things are composite (RCA) or
perhaps S-Video. Some of them even have mini 1/8" phone plugs for
video in. Depending on what they are, you can either get a TV card (all in
wonder etc), but I don't know how you'd interface that with X-Plane or FS.
Alternative is to search for the pin-outs and try to wire them up the way
you like. But if the monitor won't turn on, you have bigger issues to
deal with. Stripping the screen out to operate stand-alone is paramount to
asking a car to go down the road 60 miles an hour without an engine. The
"screen" being the "car". There is an inverter, and a PSU and backlighting
and everything else in an LCD monitor. If none of those things work, that
is why they are cheap. Because they aren't useful for anything except
spare parts. </div>

<div><br></div>thank you for your quick reply, however is there a way to
separate the screen and wire it from there? i would like to use them to
create glass cockpit instruments.<br><br>
