I thought you said you lost your book... and if your friend does have it get it back.

And the adapter I would recomend would be the one that comes with the screen if it comes with one. I think you said it was a hip gear but i don't know those specs but the PSone screen one is perfect maybe someone has one to trade.

I'm using an Interact mobile monitor 4 in color lcd screen.

He did, 19 days ago. 12 days before he said he "couldn't find it", he said his mom took the book away and threw it to "the lower kids level" at the mall.

Riverfalcon, what are the power requirements for that screen?

Looking at the DC IN it shows 7.5V (is that what you wanted or something else?)

:::EDIT:::
Also, as I expected, I WILL need a 3-way switch. According to doomportables: "...If you do not purchase a 3-Way switch you will have to remove your batteries before you can use an AC adaptor because the current will cause your batteries to pop. (this often happens to the Game Axe)..."

I can just take out the battery, yes, however, things have a tendancy of disappearing!

Can I use the switch that came with the mini-snes? (on/off switch)

I'll post up pictures of the lcd screen in a few minutes. Gotta uploading everything.

You don't need a 3-way switch if you don't want. You can use two diodes. See my post (and nos-slived's) down near the bottom.

This will give you an uninteruptable power supply without any worries about removing batteries.

no that on has 1 pole that could disconnect your screen but it wouldnt reconnect it to the external monitoir

How about using it just to test everything out? can it be used for that (until I get the right switch)?

What is the exact switch I need again? Can anyone provide me with a link?

Also, I got the 7805 regulator...does anyone know how to properly attach it to the snes and monitor (Interact mobile monitor 4 in color lcd screen.)?

You dont need a switch to test it out just attach wires to the battery leads(with a protective device such as electrical tape...you may need to press hard on the leads).

Here is the switch I used hook system in middle, battery and DC jack on either side.

Thanks Evil! I'm gonna try hooking things up now and testing it out. Where do I hook the batteries to on the snes?

EvilnessNMyVeins · Post by **EvilnessNMyVeins** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 7:27 am

For positive 7.5in on the screen and you need to get the 5v through the 7805 or the back of the screen and put that in the hole marked I where the 7805 was on the Snes.
Negative at the dc jack to ground on screen ground to neg on battery.

System is on pause again...lcd is broken!

Gotta get a new one now...the first time doing anything is always the most expensive time. Is it possible to connect the snes to the screen through audio wires and bring power to the screen as well through batteries (w/o much modifying)?

EvilnessNMyVeins · Post by **EvilnessNMyVeins** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 8:12 am

Are you sure it is broken or is it just not turning on because there can be many quarks that will keep the screen blank.

No...i wish that was it, but the lcd cracked in half when I accidently dropped it on the floor.
