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.

Hey, I just got a problem with my screen. After accidentally turning my sound up on my screen to max, and having the sound lag and cut out. I turned the volumn down, to a lower setting. Now, everytime I have the volumn over a certain limit, the screen starts to cut out, and go blank when ever sound plays.
The screen is fine if the sound is low, or off, but when its medium or loud, the picture screws up.
Any help?

What kind of screen? How are you powering it? It sounds like it isn't getting enough power, so it cuts the video when the sound draws too much power.

You need a battery/power source that can supply more current.

Its going through the AC adapter that came with it, and always worked.

Try replacing the speakers. You might have blown one or both out.

Have you resoldered anything yet? The almost exact same thing happened to me once, the cause was a too thin ground cable.

I agree it sounds like a current problem to me.
