Removed bulb..

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.

I removed the bulb in my screen, but now the two wires that were going to it either arnt giving off current or simply wont power my LED. Whats wrong?

Don't use that source for the LED power, it should be several hundred volts when active.
