The first step in getting my table up and running was to dismantle the LCD monitor. I needed to make sure that I could get all of the circuitry away from the rear of the monitor so that the camera could pick up touches anywhere on the screen.
Fortunately it was "relatively" easy to dismantle and all of the circuitry was attached by a ribbon cable secured to the top edge of the panel. Once it was prepared, it was laid out on the dining table and ready to be plugged in to make sure that I hadn't damaged anything during the deconstruction.
Stood well back at this point and powered it up. As luck would have it, the damn thing worked! Only one of the backlights are plugged in at this point, which is why the top of the screen appears much brighter than the bottom.
