Will this screen work?

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.

the round motherboard of the official, Sony, screen is nescessary if you are going to build the case that Ben talks about in the book, and the wiring will differ as well,

DON'T TAKE THAT APART!

Triton and I have that exact screen, the Interact Mobile Monitor. Mine even had that box.

Triton tried to disassemble it for an LED mod, and was never able to get it working again. I've been to afraid to take apart mine.
