Intec Screen Pad Backlight

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.

Post by daleighan »

What is used to backlight the Intec Screen Pad? Is it led's? What is the lowest voltage I can run it at?

Probably a CCFL, because it is fairly rare to see LEDs used by manufacturers. I believe that it is a minimum of 12V, but it might be 18V. Either the AC adaptor, or the screen's power jack should say it, and if it doesn't, search around. I know I have seen it on here before.

I run mine off 7.2 volts. It works well at that voltage. This screen seems to be pretty versatile when it comes to power.
