</div>Michael and I tested the LCD panel of the projector last night. We<br>
were able to get as far as bringing up the menu, but were not able to<br>
make anything display when connecting it to a laptop with a VGA cable.<br>
I put it in on my shelf to postpone any further cannibalization in the<br>
hopes of getting it to work. If it ends up being hopeless, I'll put<br>
any relevant/useful parts onto the general hack & share shelves. I'm<br>
interested in piping sunlight through it like a stained-glass window<br>
for some out-door computing endeavors. If anyone's interested in such<br>
things, let me know.<br>
