Step 2Stripping the LCD screen
Start stripping the LCD screen. There are a lot of different screens, it could have different parts and and look not exactly the same. I describing here the basic steps.
Tips before you start:
- Make pictures to remind
- Watch out and be carefully
1) Disconnect all cables and wait a few minutes.
2) Put a towel or pillow on your desk for protecting the LCD screen from scratches.
3) Remove all screws, usually you can find these only at the back.
4) Lay down the screen on the towel on your desk and remove first the back cover and then the front cover.
5) You will have now something like this:
6) Disconnect all cables and remove the tape if needed. Do this with your hand and not with tools. It's very fragile.
7) Use a screwdriver to remove the power supply, the lcd controller and the OSD controller.
8) Remove the tiny screws from each side.
9) Remove carefully the plastic from the print, watch out for the brown plastic wires. If you damage this, your screen is dead.
10) Now you can remove safely the frame. (it's a 'click' system)
11) Wipe the LCD screen carefully out the white backlight plate.
12) Finished!

Is it at all possible to use an old CRT monitor instead of lcd for something like this? I have 3 CRT's just sitting around and need to do something with them.

No, CRTs work very differently and can't be used like an LCD screen. Check em out on Wikipedia and you can see why.
