    Ok this is gonna sound like a weird request but here it goes.

    I've got two old laptops that have served there time and now I want to reuse them in some way. Is it possible to remove the screen from a laptop and hook it directly to another source like a DVD player.

    I want to make an installation for college and have the screens flush mounted and wired to a dvd or something to have a film on constant play.

    The laptops themselves are banjaxxed one of them has a failed HDD and the other has an issue with overheating that I couldn't get fixed when I brought it to a technician.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Nope.

    Take the HDD out of the overheating one and put into the one with the failed drive and use it that way. You could use the laptop to drive the DVD player. You'd have to do something more interesting with it tho!

    Thanks! it looks like I'll have to do that alright. It would be nice to run something off of a DVD player and have something sleek that requires minimal input but I guess I'll have to work it with the laptop. Worth a shot anyway.
