Hipgear screen: requesting photos of wiring

There was a post here a long time ago that had nice pics of the inside of the hipgear screen (xbox/ps2/gcn) and I can't find them now. I decided to do something with this screen today and realized I didn't have the pics any longer. Please tell me someone out there saved them.

maybe this will help:

This is one I haven't seen before. Yes, it helps, but now I'm confused. If I recall, when I originally saw the wiring diagrams for this screen, it was determined they COULDN"T do RGB. In this graphic, it shows an RGB input.

This is the same board as the one I have, but those three particular connection's traces don't seem to lead anywhere.

Oh, I hope this to be true. This opens better uses for this screen than I had planned.

it can do RGB, I figured out the pinout for it. I have modded the IR3Y29B to do RGB before as it has external RGB inputs. Consult the datasheet for this circuit and you'll see what I mean. My hip gear LCD is broken so I never got around to testing the actual hip gear itself, but I am 100% sure it can do RGB.

Do you have any suggestions for what type of resistor to put across the brightness/contrast/color adjustments so I can eliminate the audio board?

I believe they were 10k or 50k pots
