Huh. Apparently I just had to turn the screen extension off and on again on my PC to get it to work. Why does that always work?

@jefflongo I did switch to the VGA mode. With no input it shows a blue screen and "VGA" in the top left, with input the backlight shuts off and there's nothing whatsoever. @Arceus what do you mean by "try connecting the VGA to a different device?" The screen to a different computer, or the...

Correction: I was a complete idiot and didn't realize the screen was so dark because the wii dark or whatever it does when you don't do anything for a while. VGA's still completely broken tho :(

I'm stupid. I bought this off of eBay and didn't realize this listing wasn't the exact same thing. It doesn't have an HDMI socket and it would just be dumb to solder one on, but it's the same board,so ig China's the winner of this round .

ey b0is So I bought this screen (https://www.buydisplay.com/default/4-3-inch-800x480-tft-lcd-display-with-hdmi-vga-video-av-driver-board). It works to some degree. when there's no signal the backlight is fine. the buttons work, etc. But when I plug in a VGA source (my PC), the screen goes dark...

Sorry for awful Android quality, but Am man now (re-uploaded for mobile)

That was it. Apparently the preamp doesn't like surprisingly good cheap Chinese amps.Thanks.

Life. anyways, finally got to working on my wii again. Got a surprisingly good headphone amp for $20. Tested it and it worked (almost perfectly). Hooked it up to my wii (AV pins, preamp powered by 7v). Incredible static. I'm using shielded wire from some charger (the shield threads also act as...

School is hard.

hmm.... so it appears that this cool looking multimeter I got for Christmas actually sucks.......................a LOT my wii/regs might not actually be dead....

nvm my wii might be alive all my regs worked I was just bamboozled by the evil that is a bad multimeter

You've heard of wireporn messes, now get ready for...........an even worse wireporn mess........but with a screen now.

oof. Rip that idea. welp time to fire up the old fpga and get to workin'

after many years of wandering the abyss and conversing with oriental merchants in their dialect of english, I have found only one option for using YPbPr with a 3.5" screen: the MST703 LCD driver ic supports YCbCr and YPbPr according to this datasheet. It also appears to have automatic video...

I looked over your reply, tried it anyway, and of course failed. ahh me. Always needing to try things for myself. Lesson learned. On the bright side I modded, trimmed, and tested a new mobo in around 2 hrs now knowing how to do things safely.

frig I was thinking of something like this :rothink::rothink::rothink: would it be too difficult to replace the AVE by hand, provided that I have the tools to do so? could I bend up the h and v pins or are they connected to anything onboard?

well, due to noobery, I lost the h and v pins on my ave. I've a few questions: : 1) Does this mean I can't output component anymore? 2) If I can, I wanted to use a component -> hdmi converter for use with a 3.5" screen since i can find any boards that support ypbpr. What should I use?

ehhhh thanks but how much will it be since >lives on east coast
