Hi Herreran, It may seem like a good idea, but the electronics for a PDP (Plasma Display Panel) is completely different to an LCD. The LCD could be considered much simpler with a data cable feeding video to the screen and an inverter lighting the lamps. The Plasma requires more complex driving circuitry including X and Y Sustain boards for the signal.
Best option might be to get some cash back by offering the Plasma on Ebay if the electronics is still in working order. At least you can put that towards another Plasma!
