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)

Again, at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I got a grab-bag of meters. I’m sure I could find Something to do with them, whether it’s a computer case mod, or an ethernet-controlled display, or whatever…
While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up a bunch of breadboards and unetched PCBs from a goodie-bag dealer (one with little bags of misc parts for a set price).
The blue breadboard is already reserved for a project that I’ll be posting about in the future.
While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up three of these LED bargraph guys. I haven’t tested yet to see what color they are, but that will come in time.
3/$2 isn’t bad, if I can say so myself.
Well, I went to the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, and one of the things I did there was renew my RAC membership, and buy this sleek Radio Amateurs of Canada polo shirt.
Now I can show my support for Canada’s international voice for Amateur Radio folks.
Woo! I got my contest kit for the Microchip 16-bit Embedded Design Contest.

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.
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.
Well, I got the email today letting me know that I won this lovely LCD screen by playing Hacked Gadgets’“Name That Thing” Contest. You should go check out their site, it’s got plenty of related electronics-hacking stuff.
