xbox screen help

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.

xbox screen help

Post by kylechu »

I am getting an xbox screen soon. Here's a link to the ebay auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/Intec-LCD-portable- ... otohosting . Anybody have any past experiences with this screen or know where I can find a tutorial for getting it hooked up to something? Thanks all.

I ordered one of these off of another site, so if anyone could answer these questions, it would help.

I used a 12v 500mA power supply and it wasn't enough on mine.
So I switched to a 12v 1.2amp and it worked perfect.

Yes it was. Great sound, not so great picture though.

Why did they feel the need to make it so bulky. Overcompensation for the small screen perhaps ? :lol:

"Don't look at the screen, look at the abundance of knobs and speaker holes!" Maybe they were thinking somebody would mistake it for an xbox. Or pluto's moon. By da way, if you opened it, how'd ya get it open? I'm making no leeway on this. Still need to get a power supply too.

plus, if I plug in an underpowered power supply to test it out, could I hurt it?

Check for rubber pads. Commonly there are screws concealed underneath them......like the xbox itself.
