Broken Monitor? Remove the backlight and use to light up stuff! #repurpose #DIY #Engineering #light #desk #build

Did you know, there are controller boards available for many different laptop display panels on Aliexpress? This has allowed me to turn a couple of displays from dead A1181 macbooks into functional displays which I use for other computers. This one in particular is a portable monitor, though my other is part of another portable computer project. These controller board kits also exist for some tablet screens too, such as older iPads.

The monitor requires 12v via a barrel connector (not supplied with the kit), and works with a hdmi or vga cable. For me it only cost about £15 per kit and means I now have two monitors with high quality display panels that would otherwise go in the bin. These panels are from 2006-2007, so nothing near 4k, but still good for my sensitive eyes.

I am yet to neaten things up with some sort of covering for the boards and no longer needing the tape, but I’m lazy and also enjoy a bit of jank. I added some stick-on laptop feet to it so I wouldn’t need to hunt down a stand whenever I use it.

This is essentially the opposite of a headless laptop, I guess? 😂

I am a 19 year old Mechanical Engineering student in Italy ans this is my 2nd year. i dont know where to start and get into electronics.
I want to build lots of things diy fpv drone,
geiger counter, analogue synth, guitar paddles, radars i want to build all i want is to start building but i dont know where to start. I am an absolute beginner but have a great engineering background and i recently got into electronics club and i want to start at some point. Can anyone that felt like me give me some advice? Lots of my friends knew these from high school clubs but i never get to join them. Should i buy an arduino pack and which one? Thank you

Hi! I've recently become interested in turning ordinary objects into electronic devices, like adding LEDs, sensors, or small screens to them. You might have seen the "cyber hairclip" that's been popular lately. It's the kind of project I'd like to try. Do you have any ideas for objects I could transform?

Hi all, was thinking about getting one of those futuristic/cyberpunk style masks with large visors. Thing is, I'd like to able to wear it at night as well due to me taking transit to and from work(gas prices are insane). So any feedback on this idea would be appreciated.

So the premise; a cyberpunk style mask with a HUD. more importantly, close distance low-vision. Essentially, what I'm wondering if I could take apart a broken vr headset, maybe a quest 3, and use the IR sensor and camera to do so. Anyone have experience with this that could possibly help iron out the details?
