Verge screen questions

I have a couple of question on the verge PS2 screen:

1: Whats the power consumption?
2: Anyone have pinouts?
3: Does it have RGB?
4: Some people say its basically a repackaged PS1 screen. Is that true?

Any other "watch-out-fors" and info would be apreciated.

1) if its psone screen then it'd be 7.2/7.5 V... try googling it, or use an unpopular search engine, like search hippo or sumthin, yud be surprised how much yu can find, less of the larger online companies, or resellers.

there ya go i just found my favorite quote

I have a Verge Gamecube screen. It IS a PSOne screen. It uses 7.5V at ~750mA. It also uses a common ground. As for pinouts....

The connector is actually a 5 pin, but i couldnt find an image of it.

This is looking at the MALE connector.

Pin 1: Left Audio
Pin 2: 7.5v @ ~750mA
Pin 3: Ground
Pin 4: Video
Pin 5: Right Audio.
Pin 6: If you see a pin 6, you should stop drinking before 9AM.

If you can use an iron like a real man, you can add the RGB mod as well. Just use the info thats floating arround here. And YES, it can do RGB, I have it working with Power Strip.
