PSOne screen not displaying anything

I haven't actually fed it a video input, but I'm sure i read somewhere that the brightness and volume have an osd?

There is sound coming from the speakers (just the usual little hiss that comes out of all speakers when they are on), ut nothing out of the lcd. That little brown ribbon that goes to the LCD from the board actually came out, so i have pushed it back in.

Anyone got any ideas? or do i actually need to feed it a video signal first?

Thanks.

i would asume it needs video. or you could check out the screen faq. it tells what to to if it turns on but no video

Are you inputing 5V on the a/v jack to enable the lcd?

You don't need to feed it video for the OSD settings to work. When you pushed the ribbon back in, are you sure you got it the right way, and you pushed it in far enough? Do you still have your screen on wall power, or what are your batteries. Did you do the LED mod?

gannon,

I think that may be it. I'd completely forgotten about the fact that some screens require the 5V to get it to go. (actually replace 'forgot' with 'hoped that my screen wouldn't be one of the 'unlucky' ones that needed it').

nos_silved,

I'm running it off of the wall with the adapter, and tI haven't done the LED mod as of yet. The ribbon came out and I put it straight back in, I was thinking it hadn't of gone in far enough. Otherwise I'm thinking its probably the 5V thing.
