LCD mod help

black7 · 10-14-2007, 11:00 AM

ok I have an lcd out of an rca portable dvd player that I want to mod to my case. I need help on how to wire it. I don't know how to figure out what wires do what. I've done lots of searches and they are either for ps one screens or way over my head tech talk. So can some one please give me a hand? the screen is from a rca5400p dvd.

Thanks for looking!

to be honest, i dont think ti is possible. you would have to find a slot on motherboard/vga for it, and a power cable. sorry, but i dont think it will work :(

thanks for the link!
that answered the power question, now i just need to figure out how to tell what wires on lcd do what.the thick wires, red, black, and yellow are power and ground. the colored ones are for video. Any one know of a site with the pin config for a VGA or s-vid connector?
