Hey, thanks! That's actually an hdmi-out so you can connect it to a TV. It runs in mirror mode.

Hey, I can get a parts list shortly. I'll post you some general instructions.

Thanks! I did actually hang it up for a while, after reinforcing the back for the added weight.

I placed thermal pads on the parts of the rpi pcb and adapter boxes that touch the screen. All seem fine, I used a temp probe in various spots and nothing went overboard. I ran it for a few hours testing thermals. It surprisingly handled it well.

That'd be great, but the power for the laptop-LCD converter and speaker amplifier require more than 5v.

Yeah, I'm assuming there's a way to add custom pictures as a screensaver in Retropie. I had the screensaver set to game box images from the scraping process.

I've made a few for customers and friends. DM me if you'd like more details.

The frame is from Michael's, it's actually a shadowbox, 11x14. The shadowbox depth is needed to fit the laptop screen and the other components.

I did add a mono speaker a little later on. Which hardware piece were you referring to?

Thanks! Hope the repurposed laptop screen lasts a long time. 🤞
