I have a friend who is willing to just give me this 5" PS2 LCD http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/1140319/ctid/19?cpncode=08-15258385-2&srccode=cii_5784816 Has any mod been attempted with this thing?
Yup its cost a bomb but its got loads of inputs on it. SVGA, Component, S-Video, PS - video. Tuner. For more info on the connections track down the joytech video tuner addon. The screen has 25 pins on it and the tuners adapter give the pinout inside the adapter box.
No the standered for pc is 15 pins (SVGA) all the others are for the dirrerent outputs. If you find the pinout let me know because all i have is the info in the tv adapter.
whoops I actually have this Datel LCD: http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/1140319/ctid/19?cpncode=08-15258385-2&srccode=cii_5784816 It's not AS great, but I'll still take it. It doesn't have a USB port... It it has an S-VID in, analog in, DC 12V in, and a AV Multi Out. I will get some pics up tomorow or the next day.
Ok so I took it all apart, now I don't have a clew where to start.. heh.. LCD PCB Ribbon cables.. Lower pcb.. Turned over The input on lower pcb Help is appreciated!
Ok, I don't know if it's possible to bypass the bottom PCB or not. I'm thinking of using the SVID in for either serial or VGA. Would I be able to run this of my motherboards serial connection? How would the wiring be for serial-svid. Or am I going to have to use the other DVI port on my 7800gt?
Pardon? serial and svid are 2 different things. If you have a multimeter you need to trace the svid conections to see which wire it connected to.
Many LCD's are connect through the serial port, are they not? Can't this TFT LCD be connected through it as well? And yes, I have a multimeter, but how would I trace it?
Set your multimeter to resistance, one probe on the wire(s), the other somewhere else. if resistance is 0 or very low then its connected somewhere... You cant connect it to serial without a seperate controller, and even then it wont look good as you would be limited to low res or ~2 colours max (+ I dont know of any, you would have to make one with a high-end microcontroler). VGA would be best, but IMO far too much effort (as you would need to use powerstrip etc.. and it doesnt really look THAT much better). Also for VGA, the lcd needs to have seperate R B G and sync inputs. Best to stay with SVID or composite...
I got it working with my computer through svid. I would really love to bypass the bottom PCB, but it seems it houses the brightness and color dials which shift voltage on certain lines I tested. I don't know heh. Also, can anybody help em out with nvidia dualview? I can do a screen clone fine on the LCD, but the bottom portion becomes wacked out when I do a dualview.
Bottom pcb looks pointless. If it has no IC's on it, its probablyl just used for inputs... so if you can connect your composite and power somewhere else it should work fine.
