I still had a pretty scrappy looking Intuos 2 12x12 lying around.
My nephew "killed" his laptop (again), and gave me the screen from it... an Innolux N156BGE-E41.
It is Twisted Nematics, 1366x768 and 6 bit -
in other words, crap - so for a while I resisted.
But it also has a perimetre-only frame, and the TCON is already out of the way.
No modding required!!!! WOW, so easy - temptation, temptation.
Finally, I caved in, ordered a controller kit, a ZIF-ZIF extender and 40 cm of FFC
(30 lines, 0.5 mm pitch) First thing, this LCD has pretty bad viewing angles for a modern screen
(but better than the ones in the LP156WH2 that was in the laptop before this last). As I think to keep it on a desk, I had to turn it upside-down in the build, as it is visible virtually only from "above" its centre line of sight, and I was going to be below it most of the time.
Unfortunately, this means that its TCON has to be in the middle of the active area! Not ideal, but it beats not seeing the picture in the screen at all.

Having already walked the ways of Bongofish, in a day
(once all the pieces were at hand) I managed to mount it all together
I carved a hole in the front of the Intuos case - surprise, this panel is as thick as the reinforcement ridges in the back of Intuos 2 fronts are tall, so it was simple to decide where to leave it.
Inside,below the original case surface, kept in place by spacers glued-soldered to the front.
To avoid worrying about interactions between its frame and the Intuos antennas board, I placed my now customary polyethylene shield behind it. A 1/3rd of mm well spent.

I placed the kit board at the bottom of the Intuos case, aside the location of the Intuos circuitry board

Them , I glued a piece of 3mm glass in the hole.
