Thanks stingwray,
I thought that might be the case. I've pulled this beaten up laptop apart and have been trying to figure out an easy way to do it but it doesn't look good. So much for cheap LCD Monitor for my project.
If anyone has any details on the microquest p79 monitor I'd be grateful. The laptop is by a company called microquest and I can find no information on it. I no longer boots. The model number appears to be p79t.
Thanks again
Allan
