[Coco] Anyone interested in an LCD screen driver board?

[farna at att.net]

Here's the deal -- I got shafted on a Gateway 15" LCD monitor. Since I paid with PayPal I got all but their $30 fee back, plus shipping to send it out. What ticked me off is the seller made me go through shipping it back then the package was returned as "unaccepted"!! He KNEW the thing was broke to begin with, obviously! Well, e-bay shut him down anyway, and I got most of my money back.

So now I have this monitor with a cracked LCD screen. It's an NEC LCD, don't have the part number. Nice backlit one. I've got the entire Gateway FPD 1540 monitor, including the backlight cathodes and power supply, 110-240V power supply (built into the monitor, not a brick), and the LCD driver board complete with monitor cord. It takes a standard VGA signal. The screen would power up, but the cracks make it totally unreadable to any degree -- just lit up a corner and sliver across the top. And the backlights. 

Now I'm thinking someone here might want it to play with or for parts. Not sure what screens the board would drive, but it uses a Phillips chip marked SAA6703AH, S24320?1 (I can't make out the ? character), and Zt0325. There is also a square socketed chip, a Novatek NT68F632L, 0327-E0, R483771. The numbers I have separated with a comma are all on a different line, one above the other. 

First person to contact me can have it for shipping cost, else I just throw it out. It was $12.09 to ship from Dover to Nashville, TN, through the US mail. I can ship it anywhere in the US for $20 -- parcel post. If you're as close as Nashville I'll pack and ship for $15. Should be fair! It goes in the dumpster in a week if no one wants it.
