Default Laptop Voltage
Does anyone have any idea if laptops use the same voltage as regualr pcs do? I have a cathode out of my dad's old laptop and I want to hook it up to my computer, but there are 7 wires going to this thing, and they all hook up to a board with the rest of the LCD wires (about 50). It says 1.5A/32V on the connector to the inverter board, but I don't know if that's output or input, and what wires carry what... I know that you could do a command to turn it on from the keyboard, and so that's probably what the other wires were for, but I don't know what the rest of them are for... Any help would be appreciated!

The Mobile Processors run on lower voltages, but I'm fairly certain that everything else uses the same voltage.

yeah, pics would help, and if not just test it out, you have nothing to lose.

good idea I didn't think of that... I will go try that right now!

Edit: No luck... the laptop's busted... I took the LCD out of the laptop (really old) and I am trying to use the CCFL backlight. It seems like I should just try it... Thanks for the help, and my digicam is broken so I can't give you any pics for the moment... I'll see what I can do.

oh jeez nubs

yes, im fairly sure everything still runs on the same voltages, i know that some are lower, to decrease heat, but yeah.

problem is, a laptop psu probably cant handle another thing on its line, its probably powering almost all it can as it is.

This is true; laptop PSUs are kept small for better battery life and less heat.
