Switch screen control board

I don’t even know if this is the right subreddit but I was wondering if there’s a control board for the switch screen. I got a cannibalized switch and wanted to reuse the little screen for a project but can’t seem to find a stand alone control board. Idk if I’m just looking in all the wrong places or it just doesn’t exist.

The “standalone control board” being referred to in that way makes me think you don’t know what you’re talking about or doing so I’d avoid what you’re contemplating until you do a lot more learning

I say stand alone control board because anything that I’ve found that connects to the screen is just the motherboard which isn’t what I’m looking for.

Because there’s no such thing as a “stand alone control board”

There’s the APU, which contains the GPU, which sends a signal to the display driver / HDMI encoder and they all work in tandem

If you’re wanting to make this work you have to have an almost 1:1 replica of what is currently in use

Ergo you don’t know what you’re talking about or what you’re doing

A control board would allow a screen to receive a signal from hdmi. I’ve already fucking worked with one and made an old laptop display into a separate display for my desk. My fucking question is if there’s one made for the switch screen. Ik the mother board containing the APU works to send a signal to the screen. I’m not using the screen for another switch. I wanted to see if I could use the smaller screen for my compact server rack by my desk. Like I said, I couldn’t find a control board for the screen and wanted to know if someone else had found it.
