Panasonic Camcorder LCD

[Miltron B]

[update]

The screen is useless in this proyect. It will not take composite video.

Thanks for the help.

----------------------------

Hello to all.

I have been a carefull spectator of mr. heck's proyects for a couple of years now and after a lot of study I've decided to star a proyect of my own.

It concerns a "add-batteries-hook-to-the-tv-and-play" Sega Gamegear toy I found.

Problems came once I tried getting a propper LCD from it.

I ripped apart a Panasonic PV-L557D camcorder to get the LCD.

I now have 14 (the LCD pin-out) cables and I'm unable to identify what does what.

I looked for the schematics online and turned out cost-pages only.

I'm just asking for tips on how to efectivly identify every pin. I honestly gave pwr and gnd to every possible combination without getting any response.

If some one DOES have the schematics it would be great.

And please do tell me if camcorder LCDs are RCA....

I hope you guys can help out.

Saludos desde México.

plus you probably fried your screen

No no, i gave it 3 volt. The lcd is +-5 volt.

I was looking for responses with the oscilloscope.

I ment "every possible [cable] combination", as in... the pinout.
