Intec Screen Pad Problem

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 Screen Pad Problem

Post by Super Cameraman »

Okay, here's the deal.

I'm going by this diagram:

The only problem is that my screen has one row of 8 pins.... What do I do? And where does an on/off switch come into the picture?

Thanks,

Well, that diagram is for a HipGear, and you want Intec pinouts, so that may explain it! Here are those for the Intec:
Red = audio
White = audio
Yellow = video
Brown = audio/video ground
Black = V-
Orange = V+

As for the switch, anywhere that'll break the power cirucuit.

Oh, forgot to tell, I already used that pinout. It works. I figured out that I broke the NOAC.... great. Any suggestions to check if I really killed the NOAC?

Plug it into the wall outlet. You'll have to resolder all the leads to the controller board, though.

Uh... I might try that, but back ontopic:

A question, not having to do with anything specific. Is touching anypart of a circuit board that isn't a solder lead with a hot soldering iron bad?

EDIT: Forgot to add, the wires connecting the adjustment board thing and the screen mobo broke.... so I'm fixing that. Hopefully it will work.

Okay, resoldering ribbon cables are hard... any tips? Should the leads on the wires be long or short? :(

Okay, everything is resoldered and it won't turn on now. :( I think the problem might be that I soldered the wrong wires to the wrong leads, but there are 7 wires and 8 leads.... Help!!

Well since no one wants to help, I'm throwing this screen away and buying a new one.

Okay, I bumped this because I have a question. If I wire the left audio to both the left and right wire, will I get the left audio out of both the left and right speaker, or will I fry it?
