Is There A Way To Connect FP700LCD Screen To VGA? Or an adapter of any kind to be able to hook up this type of Screen to a working computer/laptop?

    Can you tell us who makes the FP700? is it a monitor or screen from a laptop?
    Google seems to indicate a screen from a laptop

    So it is a screen from a laptop or a separate monitor?

    Doesn't seem like a laptop screen to me, I would say it's just a separate monitor

    So..what kind of connection does it have?

    Is it a VGA connector, DVI, or a ribbon type cable, or ribbon type pinout, if it is a ribbon type, it most likely came from a laptop.

    If it is a monitor and only has dvi, then buy a dvi to vga adapter.

    I figure if it was VGA I would be able to connect it to "this" machine, so that leaves that one out, and the other 2, well... I some-what searched around for a bit and it doesn't look like it's DVI so then I'm also guesing it's from a laptop? It has the same shape as a VGA connector, only that instead of the pins in the middle, it has a small straight pin like thing in the middle (a bit hard to describe for me or even take a picture, sorry)

    That's a proprietary connector that compaq used to use for their older flat panels.

    Since it is an all digital connection, you can only go to DVI.

    Here is an adapter.

    oops.. looks like that was an out-of-stock page. You can check Belkin for cabula obscura like that.
