3.5" AEIComp Screen image shaking

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.

3.5" AEIComp Screen image shaking

Post by ShockSlayer »

The screen I'm using

Okay, so I've been working on my n64p, and for some reason, on the screen, the video on the screen is moving up and down (like a shaking motion) constantly. This is very distracting when I'm trying to play the game, and I don't know why its happening. When I connect a gamecube, however, the problem goes away. I know the n64 is okay because when I connect it to the TV the signal is fine. It isn't interference from anything, because I put a coil and a diode on the screens voltage line...The only thing I have left to refer back to is that the screens resolution is 480x234....but I don't know if that changes anything. Oh, and there are also two contacts where I can input h-sync and v-sync, would connecting those fix the problem? The n64 does not normally output H-sync and v-sync, meaning I would have to split it from C-sync.

well, the sync lines keep the image synced, so splitting c sync and connecting them would probably solve the problem. :wink:

Heh, you'll see.

Another question: Since its shaking up and down, would connecting just V-Sync fix the problem?

Perhaps. Try it, it can't hurt.

Hmmm...no dice, apparently it says V-Sync and H-Sync on the input board, but leads straight to pins that are N/C. So, I need a way to fix this problem without that, unless someone can find me a datasheet or pinout of the Chip on the screen: MST720C-LF
