My psone screen hasn't exactly been working, and 3 days worth of tinkering around hasn't yielded anything.
Everything was fine and dandy until I started wiring up the led replacements inside the screen. It was working perfectly, picture and sound, even after I had cut off several sections of the surrounding board.
However, it gets confusing. After I wired up the leds, I tested it to find only the sound working. No picture, no on screen displays for volume/ brightness. Now, I'm not exactly sure if the led's weren't working then, because I later found out that wiring all leds to the same resistor doesn't provide equal power to all 3 leds.
Next day after some pondering, I tested it again, unchanged from the previous night. The leds were definitely working, but I lost sound. I have since then rewired the led setup to use 3 separate resistors, wired 5v to pin 12 on the first cable jack on the front, and reattached 2 traces on the back that were cut off when I chopped off that side of the board, but no dice. (keep in mind the screen worked without these wired)
Normally I'd think the board was fried, but theres still power going to everything. I've been testing with a working psone, using the original cables to hook it up. I verified those work because hooking up the original av cable through the plugs on the screen to a tv produces a signal and sound. I'm starting to run out of ideas.
