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.
I bought a hipgear screen this morning, tested it out and it worked. I detached the screen from the controller and now I can't get it to do anything. I'm giving it about 11 volts from a battery and nothing, no backlight, screen wont do anything or make a peep. Which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong with wires.
As most would do I'm using the red wire as positive and the black wire as negative.
Pic:
it looks like the red and black wire aren't for the voltage. it's the green and orange wires.
so just follow that pinout and then give it a shot.
Thanks a ton I got it working. I don't know why I didn't realize it earlier that the orange/green are connected to the power switch .
Edit: lol just realized I posted this on another account O-o.
