I have a 2008 iMac, and unfortunately the logic board is dead. I already confirmed it's the logic board - the apple store took a look at the device. I wanted to give myself a project and try to convert this to a workable monitor - and primarily set it up to work with an external gaming console (Xbox, etc). Is this even possible? Is this even worth the effort or am I SOL? I hate seeing the Mac gather dust in the garage.
Thanks in advance!

The Answer I hope is yes. I have a controler board NT68676 2A 1256 which has vga hdmi and
dvi-d inputs with audio. a simple 4 button control board plus a cable to go between the controller and LCD panel cost around $30 from ebay.com cost me a bit more as I am in UK.
The above controller is normaly use for smaller panels and supplies 12v to power the inverter for the LCD panel. I asked the supplier if I could provide the 24v for the iMac inverter would his controller board be able to handle the signal side of things, he's said it would.
I am looking with no luck yet to find the pinout for the power supply as from the work done on earlier versions G5 and 20 inch it would seem I will have to ground 1 pin on power supply to switch it on. if anyone knows the answer or has already done this would be most grateful if you could share it.
I have today found this pinout from a power supply in the off state but possibly faulty, so if any one could supply pin out for the on state would be great

If you are talented and experienced with small electronics it is feasible. 'Personally - I would sell the machine as is on Ebay take that $ and put it towards a working x-box.

Can you get a number of the LCD panel itself?
