Screen Surgery

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.

Daymmmmm. I just got pwned. I have no idea what mine are then. What are some common LED voltages? I assumed 5v was a standard one.

The majority of the ones I own are 3V or 3.3V.

IR LEDs go into the 2-3V range somewhere. Those aren't very useful as a backlight, though.
