Hi, this might be a bit broad but I have a RaspPi 2 and an old dead laptop. I will as wondering if I could get the RaspPi to talk to the laptop screen once I took the screen out of its laptop casing? If using a RaspPi 3 or zero is better that is fine, I am just looking for a project for this currently unused Pi 2! Ideally I would like to use it magic mirror way, showing a clock, news, even video.
Amazing! I thought it was unlikely but once again the RaspPi community has already got there! Thanks for your super quick response and the great link, I look forward to getting stuck in!
Just as Alex from Raspi.tv said, it worked! The controller board arrived today and once plugged in and powered up, I now have the Raspbian desktop on the old laptop display running from a RaspPi 2! Thanks Alex for the video and gadgetoid for the link!
