compatability between the Xbox 360 pro and the i Book g4
Moderator:Moderators
Ok this might be a dumb question but would the 360 be compatible with some of the stuff on the inside of the iBook g4 like the screen by chance because I plan on making a 360 laptop using some of the 115 page instructions i found online courtisy of Ben Heck himself or at least i think

In short, no. The screen (like all laptop screens) uses some form of LVDS, which is not compatible with VGA or HDMI or component from the 360 directly. You *might* be able to find a controller for the screen on eBay, but it's a. not likely and b. not usually worth the cost.Scar 405 wrote:Ok this might be a dumb question but would the 360 be compatible with some of the stuff on the inside of the iBook g4 like the screen by chance because I plan on making a 360 laptop using some of the 115 page instructions i found online courtisy of Ben Heck himself or at least i think
The hard drive in the iBook G4 is IDE, so you couldn't use that with the 360 either. (The 360 uses SATA, and also if you use a non-Microsoft drive you run the risk of getting banned from Live.)
You're doing a 360, so the battery is irrelevant as the 360 draws way too much power to run off of a battery. You *might* get 10 minutes out of the iBook battery.

Thank you for the information and heres a good question how much cash do you think I could get if I sold the parts for scrap if any because I need some cash if I am going to build that portable 360 laptop like I wanted.
