Is there a way of using LCD screens from a laptop as screens for desktop computer?
Is there a way of linking two or more of these screens together?
Thank You

the connectors on laptop screen are too different. they use a special LCD cable that connects to the motherboard.

This isn't generally speaking a feasible thing to do. Many NB's have the NB's Inverter for the screen mounted in the actual NB and not the monitor so you would need to include the missing Inverters and some form of interface to accept the Input from the Desktop be this VGA or DVI.

Then you would need the correct circuity to drive the Monitors from the interface that you have made and connect them somehow to this Interface and Inverters.

Or if you die in the process make NASA look like it's doing a great job and keeping it's people alive.
