Buddy it was in perfect condition when I sent it. It got damaged while being shipped. The reason your not being refunded is because of your ignorance. If you didn't go around calling me a scammer and insulting my home by saying it smells then I would have refunded your money.



Anyway I wired pins 18 and 20 together and ta da the vga out works.
I just need to get a switch to wire between them to switch the video modes.

I have some ps1 screen speakers I want to use for this and I know how to wire them to the board but I need help adding some kind of volume knob or tact switches.

I would also like to add some usb's to the board. Anyone know how to go about doing this?

Scamming people aye weaver? :P

Tips for adding/modding/removing ports:
If you want to add more usb ports you cant use the same pins/holes as the existing ones, one of them will be cancelled out. This goes for hard wiring usb devices to the ports.

Will link pics/pinouts for adding a volume knob and extra usb's later, im on my phone atm :P

No I didn't scam anyone. I sold NES CollinE's 360 laptop and it got damaged while being shipped.
He seems to think I sent it to him already damaged. I would refund him but, he has called me a scammer since the beginning and I don't want to deal with him anymore.

Anyway some links for adding usb ports and a volume knob would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks man. The only problem is when I desolder the usb ports I burnt up the data pins when I tried to rewire them. I guess I could just use them as charging ports still with just the grounds and the 5v lines. Is there anywhere else on the board I could connect to the data lines?

So for the speaker control I could get one of these dual gang pots: http://beavishifi.com/articles/Volume_Control/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and wire up the positive speaker wires to the first pins, the positive wires off the board to the second pins and the negatives from both to the third pins. Is that correct?

So I can have 2 usb ports wired up to the same data lines?

I have 2 speakers so I'm going to get one of those dual-gang pots like in the link I posted.
My speakers are rated at 1W and 8 ohms but the only 1W pot I could find is 5k ohms. Will it still work?

Also is it safe to steal 800mA from the board for my screen?

Well It's jtagged so I can run xexmenu on it and it will tell me the temps of the cpu, gpu and ram. If there not staying cool enough I'll add some holes behind the cpu fan but, not where the ring of light is they will be on top. I'm sure it will be fine though since it was alright with just the stock fans 12v modded.

Here's a preview of the case. This will be the last update until it's finished. It is going to be painted all black when it's done.
