Help with screen

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 screen

Post by ninjamonkey »

Ok when I took apart the casing for the screen I was going to use for my n64p project. It was fine. It's one of those intec gamecube like 4 inch ones. I took it apart it was fine. Then, the power cable detached from the motherboard. Just today I re-soldered it to the board and nothing is happening when it's both plugged into an electrical socket and the battery compatible with the screen. Any ideas as to what is wrong with it?

I'm making an n64 laptop So that works out. I'd just make the screen fit more with n64 case i'm making.

no, your not understanding. It really won't do the job. You'll waste battery life, Have a huge top of a laptop, and you won't be able to see what your playing. The screen won't work period.

You may have soldered them on backwards, and blew a fuse.
