LCD problem

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Are you sure you have the screen correctly powered? Other than that, just double check your wiring.

yeah im sure but the funny this is that this only happens when i hook ground up to it. Im wondering if it is the fuse or something. I don't get audio either and that has nothing to do with the screen. :shock:

Could be a loose connection. Check all the LED points, and grounds. I had a similar problem I think it was a loose video ground.

maybe your wall adapter doesn't give it enough amps and you need a more powerful one
