My LED mod on my screen works. I have tested it and it works flawlessly. My problem is that i can't seem to get the actual LCD to work.
I have wired the connections for the screen per Nieldo's diagram. I know for a fact that the positive and negative connections and correct since the LED mod turns on when i flick the power switch; however, it is the other connections that are giving me pain.
What i did was i took the socket which originally was connected to the original power board, cut off the other end of the socket (which was attached to the AV jack board), stripped the appropriate wires, and connected the corresponding wires leading from the N64 to the screen via solder.
I have triple checked my work, and whenever i turn on the screen, all i see is black. The screen powers up and then goes black. This is the only result i have gotten. I thought it might be a problem solely with the video, so i plugged in the speakers. They don't work as well; it seems like there is power going to the screen but it is recieving no input from the N64. This was confirmed when i turned the N64 on and off while the screen was connected; usually you will see a flicker if even a minute connection exists, but i saw no indication of this.
I directly soldered the socket wires from the screen to their approriate pins on the video port of the N64 (like in the diagram). I made these connections on the underside of the board because the plastic video plug is on top (obviously) and i didn't want to mess with removing it just yet.
I have been trying to figure this out for days, but to no avail. Can someone please help me here...After this i have nothing else but casebuilding bliss
So yeah, your screen is fine...I suggest you check the grounds and make sure they are connected tightly. Also, test the power coming from the N64 with a multimeter.
