Im going to take another look at the whole thing this weekend, take it back to the start and check the solder points.

Its hard wired onto the board, I will see if I can find something so I can test through a tv.

anyone?

Im using a hip gear screen to run an xbox, Im using a composite mod from the motherboard of the xbox, the screen is powered by a power adaptor 12v 500ma, the video connectors are connected straight to the wires that would normally run to the video connector of the pad.

Im getting a looping image ...

All hooked up to the xbox getting a picture but its looping, will do a search on the forums now for looping hip gear screens.

*** EDIT - Ive already had this answered before, just didnt manage to go to the thread after it was replied too, its either the NTSC to PAL conversion or too high a voltage ...

Just found another adaptor and it seems to be powering up ok, will hook it upto the xbox see if I get a picture.

Thanks for the help guys.

after reading that it doesnt need the full 12v I tried the following spec adaptor:

9V 300mA 2.7VA

But this gave power to the screen but made buzzing noise at the same time.

I have basically wired it straight into the points where you would connect the original power supply not by-passed anything ...

thanks guys, will do a search of the house for an adaptor now with that spec.

Im using the screen in a xbox but I have a replacement cord from M$ and it trips as soon as I have the screen plugged into the 12v molex, tried to find a good way of getting 7v but it still tripped.

Can anyone tell me the power requirements on a Hip Screen pad? the readings off the back of a power supply.

Ive got a few around and cant figure which one is for my screen!

For test reasons could I use an external power supply for a hip gear screen just so I can test it at lower voltages before putting it into my xbox?

I want to test and get the screen connections working 100% before mounting and wiring up the voltage from the motherboard.

I have an adjustable ...

For my use I dont mind having a fan behind the screen but for a portable it would suck.

I tried what I was on about earlier and wired up the red and yellow wires from the molex to the screen to give me 7v, my power cable protection kicked in and shut down my xbox... guess I need to test with a ...

does this sound right? to get a 7v for a hip screen you could use the molex on the xbox and use the 12v in and 5v out to give 7v? rather than just the ground for the 12v.
Therefore connect in to 12v Yellow connector and out to 5v Yellow connector.

Someone just suggested this on another forum, I ...

I have this new style board and Im getting the loop as discussed in my previous thread, I was running it from 12V so that is probably the main cause of this.

I have only run the screen for a few seconds at a time.

When opening the board I noticed that the back pcb had a green wire jumped from one ...

the looping is caused by overheating i think, i plugged it into 7 volts and it ran for about 2 and a half hours without looping
What system were you running this on? Ive followed tutorials in the past from xbox-scene which advise to use the 12v connection on the molex. If it will run on 7v I will ...

I got a Hip Gear screen sent across from Ninjai (Thanks :D ) I installed it in my xbox (PAL) and the screen worked but was displaying in black and white, I switched off my xbox to see if I had good connections and when I switched it back on I get a looping image.

The colour could be just to do with ...
