@nicman Hello there!
Have a look at this. I gave quite some information there which I don’t feel like repeating here.
Make sure to check out the links I posted in that thread.
Your screen is a 1-CH, 6-bit, 40 Pin LVDS panel with a 1440x900 resolution. AFAIK the 40 pin connectors include the LED backlight but I have never dealt with one. This site will help you gathering the information you need.
Or google for “LTD133EQ1B controller board” and buy one that tailored to your panel. They cost quite a lot more, though. You most likely find them on eBay, Amazon, or AliExpress.
