I would like some help on learning how to wire this 7" screen that i took off of a dvd player and wire it to the Nintendo Wii. I'll show you some pictures and hopefully someone can help me out. This is what im planning if you can't tell aready, i am going to take this LCD screen and wire it up to the wii and make my own version of the wii laptop but i need help with the wiring.

ill just explain them going top to buttom
The first picture shows what the motherboard of the dvd player said about the wiring going TO the LCD screen
The second picture is about the connector to the lcd screen, its just there for in case someone wanted to see it
The third picture is the whole lcd screen
The Forth is the wii, and here is a website for the av pinouts. http://nfggames.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av ... _av_pinout

now, depending on wheter the signal going to the screen being digital or not, it will eventually work.

If you remove the metal case from the screen itself, you should probably find a board in there. If not, it must be one of the small boards surrounding the screen. however, I suggest googling what is written on some of the chips on there, if you find the video-thingy-chip you will also find out what it accepts by googling it.

I hope I'm right on this one, and I hope I could help.

Looks to require S-Video and 9V, but that's just a guess from a quick glance of the pics.

well it might not trough a plug. You might have to solder it on.

Seriously how do you expect us to know? Guessing?

edit: looked alittle better at the pics didn't see one. Basicly the pinout matches the connector to its side.

how could I have NOT seen that?

Because that's the DVD player side and not the LCD side, so doesn't work for this situation?
Also, kinda wondering why the images are from instructables, are these from instructions on how to do this already?

From what I see, this is the pinout, and it just needs 9V and an S-Video signal (although I don't know what the other 2 lines are for).

Y=Luma
C=Chroma
W/N=?
Con=?
