theres the pics heres what im trying to do. im trying to wire it in so the video is soldered right to the xbox motherboard, i was thinking i could make a extra hole in the back for the audio jack and also i need to know how to properly wire the power in to the xbox power supply so it can have the proper voltage, i want to install a switch on the back to cut the power off and on so if im hooking iit up to a tv i can have the option of cutting it off, the screen can from the sony psone portable any feedback will be greatly apprciated

that would be weird to have the screen on the top because you cant see it unless u look over

You could make it so that you could flip the screen up. Then you wouldn't have to look down from above.

well, how do you want to wire it? do you want composite video or rgb? and the xbox power supply (i think) has a 12v line and a 5 volt line. the 5 volt line can be hooked up to the psone in some weird way but if you just get a resistor for the 12v line, you could lower the voltage done to about 7.5
use this equation to figure out what ohm resistor youll need:
R= (vs-vf)/I what it is:
Amnt of ohms = (12v-7.5v)/ amount of amperage you want

to turn the screen off and on, install a switch on the power line. If you live in michigan i could send you one.

i live in minnesota and if you could send it that would be cool , not sure whatyou meant by rbg or composite could you explain thanx

Composite is at the bottom of the quality ladder. It's the yellow plug you plug into your TV when using the AV cable that came with your Xbox.

RGB seperates the Red, Green, and Blue channels through seperate cables, and makes a better signal.

Composite is easier to hook up, but RGB has a superior picture.

i want rbg can you show me how i would hook that up straight to the motherboard

look at the sticky, all the stuff you need is there. once your done reading come back and ask some questions (if needed).

actually composit is about halfway up the "ladder of quality" it goes
RGB
component
s-video
composite
coaxial
RF
8mm reel to reel projector (lol jk)
