Screen FAQ / useful info
Moderator:Moderators
Hey I used MS paint and an old pic (that's why it looks crummy) to show what wires are what on the LCD board of a Hip Gear screen. It might be helpful.
While I was looking at the LCD board I got to wondering, "what are all those other pins?" Is it possible that it might have RGB capability?
EDIT: I was going over my LCD again, and I noticed that I had the Adjust Power and Adjust Ground pins switched. It's now fixed.

ok, i was looking at my Verge screen and looked at the PSone pinouts for the screen. One of the pins said "7.5 in", but my screen board thingy (basically an amp and a regulator) has a 7808. does this mean there are regulators on the bard? would it run off strait 9.6 volts? also, what does +5v mean, does it output five volts?

2/3 the way down the page here

there is a diagram or two showing how to hook up LED's. and.... theLED's are shown connected backwards.
from http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/led.htm :
<i>LEDs must be connected the correct way round, the diagram may be labelled a or + for anode and k or - for cathode (yes, it really is k, not c, for cathode!). The cathode is the short lead and there may be a slight flat on the body of round LEDs. If you can see inside the LED the cathode is the larger electrode (but this is not an official identification method).</i>

a mod should put the s-video mod in the sticky. here's the thread (scroll down)
Newbian question
I just got my 2 psone screens in the mail. I notice, they don't have a power switch... no on/off switch.
My guess is somehow it was rigged in with the PSone itself, so when you turn on the PSone, it turns on the screen...
is that right?
the last screen i got was a crummy intec screen, which sucked, but had a clear on/off switch...

Re: Newbian question
If it is plugged into a PSone, it stays off til the PSone turns on. If it isn't plugged into a PSone, it will be on as long as it has power.Robotron wrote:I just got my 2 psone screens in the mail. I notice, they don't have a power switch... no on/off switch.
