Taking apart an Amilo A 1630

Some of my readers know - I once owned an Amilo A 1630 and desperately tried to get Ubuntu to work with it... Well I succeeded but soon after my succes I fried the gpu...
No post message, no beep no nothing - just the fan running.
Well since repairing it is out of question (about 400 € for spare parts?!?!) I decided to buy myself a new notebook...But what to do with the old one?
I decided to take it apart - at least the cpu, ram and harddrive are still working...
No problems to get those parts...the LCD-Display should be ok and what about the keyboard the wireless-lan and the modem?
So I went through with it and took it apart...While doing so I found the reason why it is not working any more...melten chipset (backside of the mainboard) at least I'm sure of it now - no more guessing.
But what to do with the LCD? I'm searching desperately for a method to make it usable with a normal PC or any other device capable of using such a thing..
About the panel:
Samsung LTN154X1
Delta 76V0A Inverter
There has to be a way to make it usable via HDMI or DVI...If you know about a way please let me know
And if you have a use for the other parts
Wireless Lan Card (Realtek), CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3200+), 2xRAM (Infineon 512 MB DDR 333 CL 2,5 / PC 2700S), the mouse device, the battery (Model 258XX0, Amilo) let me know
