Sharp LQ13X02C

Ok, this 13″ Sharp TFT LCD screen with XGA (1024×768) resolution was used in some Dell and NEC laptops, including the Dell Latitude CPi D266XT.

The Dell Latitude’s screen and inverter has a connector to the motherboard consisting of 50 pins (25 x 2 pins)

USB SD Card Adapter

USB SD Card Adapter

Ok, I got this set of 3 USB SD Card adapters from eBay seller flash-mart.

The picture shows the innards of one, and a full one. They come in multiple colors. They’re nice because you can insert an SD card and put the cover back on. I’m thinking in particular about USB hard drives for the MSNTV2s with these.

Laptop Hard Drive Adapter

Laptop Hard Drive Adapter

Well, I got this one (a pack of 5) from eBay seller igozz.

See, this one’s simple. You plug a laptop hard drive on one end, and an IDE cable and Molex power adapter on the other, and you have a working internal hard drive for your PC.
