I also happen to have old HP LCD monitor with a dead backlight. My plan is to use the controller board from the HP monitor to drive the Macbook display.

This board was soldered in to interface with the LCD controller’s bus. This allows data to be written from the 128k flash ROM on the custom board into the frame buffer.

This 6-inch board turns a Raspberry Pi module into a DIY router This $55 module could put a homebrew router into the palm of your hand (literally).
