...I have a gamecube 5" lcd screen (same as PSONE + few small changes etc etc).
So far I have removed the included voltage regulator from the base, and the screen from its casing. I wasn't given an AC adapter with the screen, only 12v car adapter. I managed to scavenge around and found a 7.5 volt 1 amp netgear AC->DC adapter for an old hub I had sitting around. I checked the volatage and it was outputting about 12v so I decided to run it through the regulator circuit I had scavenged from the screen. I tested the output to make sure the regulator was doing its job, and sure enough I got about 7.6 volts out.
The connections are as follows, positive and negative input to the regulator are from the wall adapter. The positive and negative output from the regulator are the only output wires used right now and are hooked to the input wires of the same color on the screen (I left them connected to the screen and just twisted them together with the same colored output wires from regulator). I have disconnected the speakers and headphone connections. The only connections to the screen are the red and black positive and negative coming from the regulator.
I power up the screen (flipping the switch hooked to the regulator complete with status led). The led turns on, the screen flickers, flashes white for a moment, and then seems to return to an unpowered state. I am assuming nothing is broken and that I am just missing a certian connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a TON in advance!!
p.s.
This screen is a for a digital picure frame so the sound features are not needed. I read about a couple fixes for this type of situation but am not sure I am getting the exact diagnosis right for whats happening.
