How do i use a laptop screen as a monitor?

[BenPat94]

OK my laptop recently broke, the motherboard regulators went bust rendering it all broken but I still want to use the screen as its decent quality.
Is there anyway to make this possibly without buying a monitor or a new motherboard. I can use a raspberry pie if I need to.

I've done this a few times at work to convert old CRT's on CNC machines into something more modern and cheaper than OEM replacements. 15 inch laptop screen work prefect because to the low voltage requirements and durability.


Here is a example

After - before I did a final Aesthetic cleanup and added a Plexy screen protector.
