help

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.

We need more information, and it's going to take someone longer than a few minutes to reply. The rules are to wait at least one day before you bump your question. Now tell us more about your screen, all we know is that your backlight is working but you're not getting any picture.

Do you have anything going into the screen? Which console are you trying to portablize? Is there a common ground between the two?

Did you hook the video signal up to the right pin?
Is there a ground connection between the screen and console?
Do you get audio?
Has the screen ever worked?
What is it hooked up to?
If you press the Brightness and Contrast buttons, do the on-screen display sliders appear?
If you connect the console to a regular TV, does it work normally?
Are you using the front AV connector, the camcorder-jack AV cable, or soldering directly to the screen?
If you're using the small AV connector, are you using the right cable?

Please don't use IM shorthand like "plz" and bump your thread every 5 minutes; it does nothing for your credibility. Also, we can't really help you if you just say "it doesn't work halp!", we need details like what console you're working with, and what you have tried so far.

hmm, do the LEDs light up?
Can you hook your screen up to a psone and test?
Are you using batteries or wall power?
Are you sure that you have the nes wired up correctly to the screen?
Did your screen previously work?
