Yellow video to LCD- help!

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I want to take this cord. And either wire it to the screen or add a female connector to the screen that I can plug that into. Any help pls. Below are pics of my LCD screen.

There seems to be a missing board.

On the second picture down, there is a connector on the top right of the red board. That should have gone out to another board with the video/audio connections.

At least it appears that way.

What kind of LCD is it - it might not even accept composite input.

Um TFT I guess. That's what it says. It had a DVD player on the other end of the missing wire. The dvd player did not accept audio video.

Then the only thing you can do is find the video chip, download a datasheet and see if it accepts composite video. If it does you will have to wire straight to the chip.
