PLZ HELP!!!!

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Have you tried the brightness/volume buttons to see if the green bars come up?

it might be that the ribbon cable isn't properly secured...if you don't see those green bars, then that's probably the case
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
