PSone LCD Screen

Dr Zoidberg · 23 Apr 2006 at 12:27

Has any one here modded a PSone LCD to work from there video card? either via AGP or s-video?

If so can you tell me if the screen powers up when power is applyed if it is not connected to a video card?

i am going around in circles with this and now i am not sure if it is my work that is causing problems or if i have stuffed the screen up.

Im sure if i get replys to this i will be back with more questions.

Thanks
Keith

A quick Google search threw up loads of links to this kind of mod. Below are two tutorials that appear to be pretty good.

It's not quite answering your question but it may help to look at a couple of tutorials to see if you have missed a step somewhere.

[edit]
Just had a look at this, it is the same guide on bit-tech that i have read a million times, thanks anyway
[edit]

as for google i have done and redone that, what i am after is someone that has done it and i can talk to on some were rather than just read more info.

I'm attempting to do the same, but with a Joytech Gamecube LCD screen. Let's hope the pin outs are the same or I get lucky.

If you look around the net there are guides for doing it with a joytech, i think you should check them as if i remember correctly there are differances with some of the non sony screens.
I have tested my power plug today and it is only supplying 6.5v i think this may be my problem so i am going to find another 7.5v supply and try that.
