Help rewiring my Intec GC screen!!!

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.

No all the wires are intact what happened was i didnt examin the "plug" correctly i though it was one piece but as soon as i tugged on it every wire came out individually cause to my surprise (insert sarcasm here) it wasnt a "plug" *laughs, so basically if anyone would be nice enough to open up there intec gamecube screen and take a picture of the wiring just so i can reassemble this game screen once and for all in its orignal state ! thanks

Is the not-plug soldered onto the motherboard by through-hole soldering or not?

have you looked at the picture ? cause you would see what im talking bout or maybe am i not making sense, all i want is the color of the pins connected in the screen itself cause i pulled em out nothing fancy or overly complicated as you can see in the picture theres a pink, white and blue wire going into the screens connnector i need to know where the other wires connect too (cant see them in picture because the electrical tape is in the way covering the lower half of the game screen connector) for the love of all that is holy CAN SOMEONE PLS OPEN UP THERE INTEC GAMECUBE SCREEN AND TAKE A SIMPLE PICTURE(without the electrical tape)....it is all i need

They aren't crap. Just not as good as the PSOne screen. They're a plenty fine screen. Ask cowsgoquack to take it apart and check before he ships mine off to me, unless he's scared.

Ok had some time to spare so figured id try again ive also made another picture to make my problem clearer heres a link http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... c11gb9.png
from the older pic i had included i could see that pink blue and white wires all went on the top, now im left with 4 wires yellow green red and black just need to know if anyone knows where to connect the remaining 4 wires, a diagram of the pinouts to this screen would be extremly helpful, any assistance you guys could bring would be VERY appreciated , thanks in advance to all that answered and tried to offer solutions !

Ok heres an update, ive just picked up another intec screen but this one is the ps2 screen picked it up at bestbuy for 24.95 as the box was opened, got home opened it up and to my surprise it had th exact same screen in the gamecube screen and the color code matched perfectly, but i couldnt get the screen to disply video, so i messed around a bit and got the idea of just inverting the screens from one game screen to the other just to see it i would get some video and to my surprised it turned right on, so i now knew the screen was alive but also made me realize that i must have fried something on the PCB itself and not the LCD, so my question is does anyone know anything bout these PCB's to maybe point out what i should be looking for. (ex. burnt fuses ect. ect) Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks again!
