I have an old Lenovo G50-80 laptop that I completely disassembled, and I want to reuse the LCD screen as a monitor for my desktop PC.

The laptop is no longer assembled, only the display panel is available.

Screen details:

Panel model: INNOLUX N156BGE-E42

15.6 inch

1366×768 resolution

Appears to be 30-pin eDP (display cable label says ACLU2 eDP cable / DC02001MC00)

Goal:

Use it as a secondary monitor for my desktop PC

Preferably via HDMI

I searched about LCD controller boards, but I’m confused about compatibility and don’t want to order the wrong one.

What exact controller board/driver board should I buy for this panel? Any links for controller board available in India are required. Any reliable search terms, links, or things to avoid?

Thanks.
