What does it mean in the Screen Hacking sticky when it says to remember to tie the consoles and the screens grounds together?

It means that a console's ground and a screen's ground have to be wired together to work.

Wow. That didn't make me feel lame...

And is there another place on the zenith screen control board where i can hook up positive and ground besides the mini-jacks?

So is this right?

-Connect positive to: slot 1-pin 1

-connect negative to: slot 1-pin 2

-connect comp. video in to: slot 2-pin 1connect right audio in to: slot 2
pin-2

connect left audio in to: slot 2-pin 3

Is that right?

Just cut the wire off the mini mobo and put the power input in there. Or if you're doing the LED mod (which you should do) you'd wire the ground to your negative and the bottom of the far right 7805 to your positive.

A 7808C regulator will work for knocking 12V down to 8V for the screen right?

you can put 7 volts into a pad on the back that says 7.2 right next to a solder pad, and put ground in many other places

and as long as its a 7808 it should work

Yup. And LED Modding the screen really isn't worth it. Usually only 20 minutes more of gaming. Horrible lighting also.

Why didn't somebody tell me that before I already did it? Huh? Everybody told me LED modding it is what you should do! Damn, I hope I didn't wreck my screen doing it...

EDIT: Does anybody have a picture of how they set up a 7808 with a psone screen showing where the positive and negative leads go to?

It depends on what system you're doing......GCp, no biggie, along with most NOAC's. SNES and NES portables, however, the LED mod increases playtime substantially.

And he's doing a GCp, so...

Sorry about the crudeness of the drawing, hopefully it's good enough.

i think my screen looks pretty good and i did the led mod, i also jumped the fuse in the back for more brightness though. and ~1Amp down to ~300ma consumption is a pretty big jump skyone at least an hour or two with the batteries i use

So I can connect the 8V output to the 7.5V solder pad and the ground to any other ground spot on the screen?
