Screen to work at 5V??

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.

How is this screen made to work with 5V source and where do you think the speaker should be wired? Thanks.

How do you think Ben uses it in his Phoenix? Does it have 7805IC? Can't a speaker be wired to e.g. SNES board directly rather than the screen's board?

Sure. I asked the seller. They told me that it could work at minimum 7 volts. Audio amp thing is not so difficult, I think. Is it?

Not really. Search google to find some schematics, or you could just buy an appropriate pre-assembled module.
