Did you even _try_ to research this? It's one of the most frequently asked
questions on this newsgroup and the bottom line is that if you have to ask
then it's beyond your abilities.

Hi John
Of course I have tried some research, I have looked for a schematic too
no avail.
If I new what too do I would be advising others and not asking others.
I was unware that this was a common question.
I am proficient in the use of solder and multimeters, if I had
followable instructions I am quite confident I have the abilty.

The screen is complete with housing. The whole thing is about 1cm thick
making it a very nice compact screen.I have the rest of laptop if I did
need any additional components.
However I have taken screen out of housing too find inverter at bottom.
I would think that by connecting power and vga or dvi lead too panel
nothing further is necessary.
The panel is a 15.1" XGA TFT panel nice,compact and surely worth
saving.
The panel is marked Torisan TFT-LCM TM150XG-02L02A

I am not asking how too set up a second monitor, I am asking for
colour codes so as too connect a cable too desktop.Also is there any
additional circuitry required between panel and desktop.

There is something called "google groups". You might look there before you
ask a question.

If you had made even the slightest attempt to research it then you would
have found out that it was.

This is not a matter of "buy an XYZ chip and solder it into place"--you have
to figure out the interface on your LCD, identify a configuration of chips,
discrete logic, and analog components that will take the signal from your
processor into the LCD, obtain all the necessary components (this may be a
matter of cannibalizing other hardware or convincing a hardware
manufacturer to send you engineering samples, which they tend to be
reluctant to do), design a board to hold that circuitry with due regard for
stability at the frequencies involved, make the board, put the components
on it, put it in place, and test it. Invariably the first time you test
such a device something expensive makes a sound something like "drick" and
the smoke comes out and it never works again. In your case it would most
likely be the LCD that you are struggling so hard to salvage.

Now if you knew how to do all that then you'd be doing it instead of asking
for advice on USENET.
