verge 5.4 inch gamecube screen

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.

If your gonna try the melted pen thing, use a pen with hard plastic, but for just a stripped screw, go ahead and drill it out or something.

Heat it up with a solder pen, melt the plastic around it, pull it out with plyers. VOILA!

madc0w: Do you mean you stripped a Screen Screw, or Gamecube Screw? I have the same Verge Gamecube Screen, and im trying to figure out how to lower the power requrements for the screen. If you detach the screen from the base, it uses 7.5V but I havent been able to get the correct amperage. I want to fool arround with it, but i fried the last screen I experimented on.

never mind, i opened it
i think there might be a lightbulb inside, but i don't want to figure it out, because everything is glued down and i don't want to break it
