Some questions and problems

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.

Some questions and problems

Post by csurban »

1. I cant get audio out of my screen. I'v tried everything and yes I have the headphone trace grounded. I have a feeling that the audio amp on the screen's mobo is fried. any suggestions?

2. based on all this trouble I'm having with the screen, I'm thinking about selling it. but... I do have a small scrach in the screen (only noticable when off) and a supposedly fried audio amp. Everything else is in perfect condition being that it is only a couple weeks old. How much do you think I could sell it for?
nope... can't think of anything I could possibly want to put in my Signature Block...

You don't ground the headphone line, you short it with headphone right and headphone right.

Ok if you're giving up that easy, don't. If the screen works fine except audio, if worst comes to worst you can buy an audio amp seperate from thes creen and just channel the audio directly from your system into the amp to the speakers.
Hey, sup?
