I just hooked my psone screen to my snes and gave them both power but the only thing on the screen that works are the leds I"m pretty sure it's not a battery problem and there isn't anything wrong with the screen because when I gave it wall power the volume and brightness bars showed up. Is there something i forgot to do or or did wrong. A solution would be appreciated very much.

Sounds like you don't have enough voltage for the screen and SNES to turn on. What kind of battery are you using?

Is there anything else could be wrong or is the battery probably just be defective.

It is a 7.2V battery right? Us a multimeter to check the battery for voltage and if it shows less than 7.2V then that's probably your problem. Make sure it's fully charged of course.

ok i just attached a DC Aux jack to the thing and the same thing happened just the leds went on, I'm gonna feel really dumb if I have to connnect any other wires.

I have connected the grounds between them and i have connected the power to the regulator's outgoing power to the other regulator on the psone screen is there anything else that i have to do

to do that i could just solder a wire from that to the regulator, right.

I tried hooking pin12 to the same regulator i got the led power but it was still the same, led power but when i tried the volume and brightness nothing happened.
