as comment to KK.(LOL,) I believe this section is called “fun things” and not the most spectacular or even reasonable! I Hate discarding electronics, recently dumped 4 monitors and all I could think of was what fun stuff fo the house, including security uses. Sure it looks bit ungainly and chunky but…what fun..I like it!

Why not just hang the laptop on the wall .. c’mon folks .. folding a laptop on the back of a frame isnt a digital frame .. so why not try this .. buy a conventional TV and make a hole to the wall enough to fit this in and make it look like a flat screen, on the room behind, you will see the remaining but not from the living room Sorry but i did not like the idea. ..

Excellent idea, well implemented, but wouldn’t this use a lot more electricity that a dedicated photoframe? Just something to be aware of with the price of electricity increasing sharply every year.

I can rip these things apart and put them back together with ease, but never thought about makeing one of these..Thanks for sharing this project…

You are welcome. I really glad I made the frame. It still works great and have it on the wall.

DIY Tech Guys,

I was just trying to get more information on opening my D820 and came across this great idea. I work in a computer shop in Iraq and had to get rid of a lot of broken down laptops, well instead of throwing the next one out I plan on doing this project with my spare time. Hard part out here will be finding the frame. I will be attempting this with a Dell 610/610. Wish me luck..I can rip these things apart and put them back together with ease, but never thought about makeing one of these..Thanks for sharing this project…

Gilson,

I have one old laptop Toshiba protégé 7000 serie and one electronic picture frame with card reader.

I saw that the picture frame has 6 cables connected from 7? diplay to the card board, but the laptop display has one dozen of cables…

Can I connect both ( laptop display + picture frame card) …. and how to do it

I doubt that you can connect your laptop display to the picture frame.

Can I connect both ( laptop display + picture frame card) …. and how to do it

Thank you

[...] If you’re anything like me, you often struggle to find a home for used and nearly obsolete tech products. While I won’t be converting any of my old laptops to digital frames, lack of technical skill and patience prevent such a project, the team over at Inside My Laptop has done the dirty work. [...]
