Hi
I'm from Belgium (Europe) and I have a 15,4" wuxga tft from a broken dell lattitude. What's the best way to find a controller for me? Maybe used ones?
thx

You're not going to have much luck I'm afraid, laptop LCD controllers for random laptops are extremely hard to find and even if you did find one, they tend to cost a LOT.

You're probably better off acquiring a new LCD :-(

Normally yes, but I saw custom made controllers on the forum a while ago for sharp wuxga panels, they where the same tft's as in dell laptops and I think these are the same.

elektron,
if it is a sharp wuxga panel, then you could use the Winmate GA2 controller, which is about $300 USD. others have been asking about other 15.4" wuxga panels (other than sharp manufactured ones) with this controller, but as of yet, the board bios is only tuned for the sharp panels. you'd need to strip out the LCD assembly (LCD & backlight) from the laptop to see what panel you physically have as there are many different manufacturers panels in the dell laptops.

take a look in the beginner's forum... there is a pinned thread for the WUXGA group buys by minoten. Not sure if he plans to do more group buys as there is a guy in California (USA) that sells these controllers individually. You can find his contact information toward the end of the pinned WUXGA thread.

cheers,
