I suggest moving the control stick and slicing off the D-Pad, then resoldering the connections to both (just scrape off the white stuff carefully or use fine-grit sandpaper).

ok but doesn't my tact switch pic apply to the d-pad

no no flikering it just went completly black no screen at all the sound is still there though so the gamecube isn't off and i have it via the ac adaptor

i have cannected the screen to the 12v output in the gamecube and oput a transistor to make it 7,5 v

did i do it wrong?

What kind of transistor are you using to drop the voltage? Try connecting it to the 12V input, rather than the regulator's 12V out, because 750mA draw, above the regular draw GCN, is probably hard on the regulator. The 12V AC adaptor may not even supply enough power for the GCN and screen combined. You might want to try running the screen on a separate power source.
