Intec lcd (can you remove the interface board)

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.

Intec lcd (can you remove the interface board)

Post by Warrior_Rocker »

Already having removed the blue wire from the lcd and tie-ing in the lcd's power directly to the dc input to the device, save the ground there are only 4 other wires going to the back of this lcd, is there any way to get rid of the interface board altogether, is it taking rgb into the lcd or how does this work, anyone got any ideas, one thing i did notice is that when some wires are unplugged it gets wavy and fuzzy, leading me to belive that some wire must be a sync of some kind? anyone got any ideas?

Ok, So here is what i have found out about this lcd, yes it does take rgb in from what ive seen so far, the (pink, white, and yellow) wires going to the lcd are RGB respectively, and the green wire is for sync

NEXT i need to know if anyone knows how to a) make a simple composite signal splitter, or take rgb off of the n64 itself, as this will save tons of power by bypassing the daughter board of this stupid lcd... and probably give a better picture

not a chance, not only do i think that is a pal based n64 (not that it really has bearing on rgb output, but pcb layout is really different) but thats one of the original boards, i have a v9 board, with no such chip in any such location as that one....

well if youre not using rbg like that, then just use s-video or composite.

Obviously it isn't if you would of read.

ok, dont be mean mr, i mispoke my bad dang, and my version of the n64 does not have that particular chip, nor does it have the traces comming off of the video chip... and I was really asking if anyone had done this themselves on a recent n64, and if it was possible,


either you help, or you dont... its that simple
