What are component connections in notebooks called?

[okppko]

Notebooks have screen, keyboard, pad, cam, wifi, etc. But what are the connections called? Is the screen dvi? The keyboard usb? etc?
Can you use a notebook keyboard on a desk top?
Thank you.

Laptops will normally feature ZIF Ribbon connectors, min-pci/mini-pci-e and other propitiatory connectors.

Propitiatory? Did you mean proprietary? Mpcie is standardized. You can find lcd controllers for just about any laptop monitor. You can find adapters for just about everything else but wouldn't bother trying to figure out the connection type. It would be a rats nest and buying a desktop one is cheap.

I did indeed mean that, serve me right for not looking at the spell check properly. I didn't mean to give the impression that M-pci or Mpcie were not standard, apologies if that's how it read.

Thank you for answers. k1114 you probably know, its about a notebook with a lcd 12.1" screen that does not work. I tried new inverter and lamp, and no result. The notebook has a vga port, and on a small external lcd 1024x768 it seems to make a fast sharp picture. On bigger screens I do not know. On the notebooks internal lcd cable it says lcd cable 6-43-t12r1-012 hl 08 05 17. The connector is 22mm width and 20 pins. Is that standard? Thanks.

If you are just trying to repair it, just look up the replacement part. You need to know your laptop model number.

I already have seen the prices for a new display, and it is to expensive compared to a new notebook.

What country are you from and what model numebr is it? You shouldn't need the whole display for just the cable.

The cable should work, its likely the display that is damaged. From what I have read about lcd displays, I thought the inverter or lamp was damaged. But new lamp or inverter did not make the display work. A display must fit in a clevo tn120r or nexos osiris 621. It does not have to be a touchscreen. If it is for sale in europe, I can get it. But its not difficult to find, but low priced it is.
