LCD display quandry

so, i got my old lombard all taken apart. it's fried. I pulled out the hard drive to make an external so i could pull some docs off of it. I decided t ocontinue on and now have an LCD display with nothing happening with it. Is there any way I can use it as a second display for my computer or hook it up to a DVD player or anything? Its a powerbook g3 lombard's lcd display.

Yes, you can take the LCD Screen (your old display screen) and if it still works when its removed look on the back for a model or serial number then go on amazon type that number in and add "LCD Control Board" They are super cheap (under $30) and allow you to connect your screen to a small LCD Board with common connections like HDMI, Audio, VGA, ETC. Then plug it into a power source and your options of running it with (RasPi, Second Screen, Smart Mirror, and more) Checkout a RasPi Zero W for about $10 and youll have yourself a PC desktop function that is about the size of a RAM card. LMK how it goes , or if u got Q's ... Peace
