So depends if you are just trying to save money / recycle or looking for a project to work on and have hopefully have a cool monitor at the end!?Īll possible, but make the build a lot trickier I think the second eBay item should get you completely sorted with all parts you need - but looking at the price, a new 24” monitor probably wouldn’t cost a huge amount more… and have a look at the comments / links on the photo. See this page for someone you has done this. ![]() The second eBay item you have listed includes a power supply (the black square object to the bottom right) and this will drive both the inverter / backlight as well as the controller board (so you will not need a separate supply for the controller board). You will be using the existing inverter attached to the monitor, and to drive that you need a separate 24v power supply. Ok, so the process for your monitor is different - the backlight cannot be driven by the controller board + new inverter like it is with my setup. This thing actually makes a great external monitor once it’s freed from the ancient components inside If anyone knows how to use the button panel, let me know. The buttons don’t seem to do anything for me though - the green light lights up but the only way to turn off my monitor is literally just to unplug the power supply. Instead of cutting holes, I used the RAM slot to fit the buttons (in addition to the DVI cable). After that it’s a matter of unscrewing literally every screw you see and removing most of the tape (but be careful not to unscrew the back stand). There are videos on YouTube that show you how to do it. Hardest part of disassembling this thing is getting the front white panel and monitor off. HDMI will fit so you’re better off using that if possible. If you want to use DVI, you can, but the wire is too big to fit through the hole for the power cord or the back cooling grate so you will need to shove it through the RAM slot on the bottom of the machine. ![]()
