would the circuit in the battery or charger not stop charging when it's full? Or does the laptop regulate that?
If so hwo could I make a simple LED circuit set to detect and turn on when the pack reaches about 90-95% capacity (for safety)?

Where can I order LCD controllers?
I know what your gonna say, it's a laptop LCD from an old laptop. But I've seen the controllers out there that will at least allow me to use it as a second VGA monitor with my PC. I can't get them on E-bay (none on there right now anyway). I just want to know how much one might cost so I don't get r...

Okay so the red white black wires apparently don't power the unit. Either that or my 7.2V 1700mAh Li-ion power supply isn't sufficient. Other than that I'm not really sure where to put power to, hopefully I haven't damaged to IC or anything already with my not-so-suddle prodding around. Any suggesti...

The camera is day/night and is powered and relay's it's video signal through a single 4-pin cable that goes to...
