I have no idea :(

I just brought it today to mess around with.

Anyway of finding out? I guess that hooking up composite and getting no signal is a sign?

I wanna see if this thing takes RGB but i dont want to hook it up to a RGB output yet.

Could i get a 1.5v battery, hook up the 2 wires to what i presume to be the BLUE input, if that worked would the screen be all blue?

Thanks!

EDIT: Also, this screen has a PAL/NTSC selector which is on PAL because im in the uk :)

OK!

Ive just checked all the 5 wires and they all go to the same pins!

EG:

Yellow, blue, red, brown, orange all connect to pin 1,2,5,6,9,11,12

Thats just a example but basically, no pin is unique to the color :! I hope somebody has a answer soon, or by tommorow:D

Any help would be REALLY appreciated.
Thanks.

They probably go to 5 places that need to know when a signal is sent.

chroma/luma perhaps? (might be s-video input?)

I dunno. I'm just taking a shot in the dark here. :?

Can anyone else shed any light onto what these wires might be?

I dont want this LCD to go to waste :(

When i turn it on, i can get audio and the screen goes a few shades and then fades into white.
