Hi all, ok got all my bits together ready to wire this sukker up looked at the guides, gone to solder up and ! whats that blue wire on the left hand set of pins in looks like pin 2 on most pics of the rewiring? (the connnector that usualy isnt ringed on diagrams ) just wondered where that is connected as blue on the main part is pin 3 to vga 9. so this blue wire is pin 2 to ? help im so close !!!!!!!!
i've wondered what that was too, chose to ignore it though, how come noone answers questions about this mod much anymore
I have no idea, but if it's not in the guides then you can probably ignore it safely. On a different note, anyone have a clue how I'd go about hooking this up to S-Video? All of the guides cover VGA but none seem to do S-video (which I would certainly think would mean no fiddling around with the powerstrip stuff...)
All you need for S-Video is the right cable. There's a port on the back of the LCD that you plug it into, then plug the other end into the TV-out on your video card. No soldering, no messing around with Powerstrip or having to use a second video card. The picture's not too bad either.
Oh it's native S-video? Same with composite too (not that I'd need it)? I've never seen one in person. Well, that sure simplifies things I'm planning to use it as the main display for one of the tiny VIA boards (which have s-video out, and an RCA for either digital audio or composite video ), I found that a distributor lives maybe a half hour away from me Yeah I've seen the difference between S-video and composite.. it's definately noticible. I have my playstation hooked up to my AIW video card... it was kinda blurry with the comp. now it's just blocky with S-video but that's normal since it is a PS1... graphics are less than stellar. Actually the comp. kinda blurred it enough to almost have an antialiasing effect lol
Check out this thread...it has an ongoing discussion of the ways to hook up the mod. http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=62951&page=5&pp=20
