Use a portege M200 to drive a Tecra M4 screen. . ?

Hi!  I really like the screen on the Tecra M4, but the machine itself seems to have many problems wrt overheating.  I was wondering, since the Portege M200 and the Tecra M4 are so similar in design otherwise if it would be possible to simply connect a Tecra M4 screen to the Portege M200.  This way it would be possible to drive the beautiful big 14" high-resolution screen with the sturdy little M200.

 

Does anybody know if this is possible?  I've been having a hard time finding any data on the screen hardware specifics.  Also, I can't seem to find an email for any of Toshiba's tech departments.  I'd like to ask one of their technicians, but they seem to only accept phone calls.  Also, I am working with used models, so I'm not covered by any of their warranty agreements.

 

Any thoughts?  I don't want to waste a few hundred bucks experimenting with used parts if there is an obvious reason why it simply wouldn't work.

 

Thanks!
