Help with Casio TV-850TR please

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.

Help with Casio TV-850TR please

Post by elgiraffe »

First off, I'm pretty new at most of this. I have very little experience with circuit boards and all that jaz, so I wouldn't be to surprised if this weren't even possible, but here goes...

I have a Casio TV-850TR, all gutted and working. There is a chip on it that I believe does the converting from composite video to RGB. I was wondering if there was a way to do away with the bulk of the board(all the tuners and volume and blah blah blah...) and just use the lcd screen and the controller for it. There is a data sheet for the chip at http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datashe ... 42FP.shtml .

Also, does anyone know how to find out what manufacturer and model number the LCD screen is inside this thing.

Thanks guys,

Honestly, I'm pretty new to this as well...
BUT, rule of thumb those parts are all there for a reason.
You could desolder all of the tuner boxes, etc. but I wouldn't desolder the volume knob, of the headphone jack, becasue then the speakers won't work.
If you're not working with speakers, go ahead...
But you can't go on ripping stuff off the board that the tv needs to run...
I hope that helped.
Making stuff with my new beautiful CNC machine!
