screen goes black
well i am almost done with my 360 portable. Every thing works but the screen. It turns on and i get a picture for like 3 seconds then it goes black like it shut off but the led is still lit like it's on. When i turn it off then back on it does it again. picture for a couple seconds then black with lit led. Not sure whats wrong, any ideas?

Re: screen goes black
Just noticed that when the screen goes black I can still faintly see what the xbox is doing on the screen. So I assume its a back light problem. Any ideas on that?

The backlit lamps are several hundred volts (you probably saw the high voltage warning on the power board). Like hailrazer said, it's probably not enough power. How did you wire it?hailrazer wrote:Sounds like not enough power.

Re: screen goes black
Is your Lcd monitor running off its own power supply? If so its sounds like bad capacitors or dry joints on the backlight invertor circuit. I've fixed a few Lcd monitors with the same symptoms. Power but no backlight.
But if your taking 12v from the 360's power brick then like what everyone else is saying not enough power.

Re: screen goes black
was just thinkin. is it possible i have the left and right prongs switched? like 360 left and lcd right soldered together? I have the lcd powered through the 360 brick like the how to. might of got them switched. 
if thats not the problem, how would i get more power. im a noob so the easyer the better. i have 2 power bricks with higher wattage if you think that will help with more power. also, thanks for the help guys!
