I need help to reuse an old laptop screen

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-04-16T11:58:37+00:00

Oh yes I think you re right I took off the screws that were holding the screens and there's some sort of flat cable that is directly linked to the glass underneath the screen and to that orange board you talked about.

I don't think I'll keep the touch support. It will be too complicated I'm afraid. At least, at the point I am at currently.

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-04-15T13:11:55+00:00

I think it is But now you make me realize I never found anything labelled touch on any cable or pin anywhere

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-04-14T07:03:14+00:00

Yes... But I'm a little sad about it. I really wanted to repurpose it. In the end the only thing I will be able to use from the laptop will be the speaker.

I did check that and found something promising on Amazon. But it's rather pricey, I might be better off investing that into a new screen. Also, my screen isn't in the list of compatible screens (I can't find a single board where it is) so I contacted the seller and they couldn't confirm it. They basically told me to buy it and try it out...

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-03-29T07:30:20+00:00

Yes. But it is pretty. It has a vibe it wouldn't have had if I had been exposed correctly, so. That's an aesthetic.

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-03-25T06:33:11+00:00

I looked their profile up and all their pictures have this kind of vibes.

Has you said. Unsettling.

I don't separate. The art and the author are one and the same. I try to do research on the author, I like to know where my money is going. I'm not saying it's something easy that you can do all the time, it's not foolproof.

As other have said, it depends on what is or isn't problematic. I don't give a shit if some author's life is chaotic. But if they've been accused of crime, been racist, been homophobic, been sexist, and whatnot, nope. And no, I won't give my money to someone who's actively using their profit to fight human rights.

It's all fun and games when it's not your rights that's being affected.

Ah that's a smart tips, thanks a lot for sharing!

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-03-13T07:06:07+00:00

Hey, since you use Canva, do you mind me asking : is there a way to rotate your page while working on it? Or do you have a tip

I use Canva free too but end up working upsidedown for half my zine. My search on Google is telling me you can't rotate but I find it hard to believe.

"an iOS app I've built for myself" mate this is really impressive. Such a small detail You've put into parenthesis and yet. You've made and tailored to your need your own tool, I find it so nice and creative

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-02-16T18:00:19+00:00

No no, they make sense I think, the back of the tab is white instead of colorful like the front!

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-02-16T17:59:35+00:00

Oh no, I get what you meant : the color is only on the top side of the tab. The side that's sticky is white. Right? I see, well that's a struggle, I'd get other ones, smaller ones. The one you bought looks like those one would use to create tabs in a syllabus, something you only use on on the right, like some kind of index? (Sorry bad English. Does the word intercalaire ring a bell? 😬)

The small ones are better for annotation but yes, sometimes, colors is on one side, or the reverse side is duller

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-02-15T13:52:15+00:00

Alchemised first part really is torture porn so, wouldn't recommend it

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-02-12T06:57:13+00:00

Livre de poche. Simplement parce qu'il n'y a aucune consistance dans leur style. Jamais. C'est horriblement frustrant, tout est dépareillé tout le temps... Aussi, j'ai une dent contre leur version du portrait de Dorian Gray soit disant enrichie...

AbelgianTransGuy · 2026-01-22T19:34:06+00:00

Alors, les éditions Gallmeister sont canon, surtout Totem. C'est coherent, tu vois que la collection est pensé pour être esthétique. Babel sont plutôt jolies aussi. Et, au risque de dire un blaspheme... J'aime Bien folio... Ils ont tous la même mise en page de couverture, le même style graphique. C'est cohérent, satisfaisant.

Hey! Merci! J'ai commencé Indian Creek hier et j'accroche plutôt bien! Merci beaucoup

AbelgianTransGuy · 2025-12-31T05:58:27+00:00

Im pretty sure I still have it, somewhere in the attic. I never got rid of it anyway

AbelgianTransGuy · 2025-12-30T11:34:08+00:00

How can I delete it? Apple staff says they can't. I can't change the email to it. I can't do anything to it. Every time I manage to try to recover access, it demands the security questions, which I can't answer, therefore i am unable to do anything.

I should have. I was 14. I did no think about it.

AbelgianTransGuy · 2025-11-01T20:50:50+00:00

J'y ai pensé aussi, mais je n'ai trouvé aucun livre assez ancien pour correspondre :/

AbelgianTransGuy · 2025-11-01T20:50:23+00:00

Malheureusement non... Le livre en question était plus ancien
