I am wondering If I take the Reg off of this board if I can run it off of 5V instead of 9V-12V

Or should I look for something else?
Thanks in advanced.

You are going to have to do some more testing on your own to figure out what those are and what they do. No way we could know just from looking at a picture of an IC on a random board if you can remove it.

KK

The 8 pin SOIC you boxed in is the flash that contains the firmware for the screen driver so no, don't remove that.
I dont know why that was circled:XD:


So on the two pins, it is a reg, 9/12 to 5,
So if i did power it from that pin it should work?
and if it doesn't it, shouldn't blow anything? right?

(Sorry, if this is a dumb question, not that experienced)

Hard to tell from the picture but that looks like a 78M05, which is a linear regulator. If you removed that and powered it with 5v, that part would likely work, but the components NOT powered by that linear regulator probably won't work. Maybe remove the regulator and run 5v to both the power supply and the output of that regulator, see if that works.
