yes, i did mean that cable. I have tried to put it back in place, but it just falls back out again. Should I tape it in, or glue it in place?
Thanks

This is as good as I can get it

It looks like the orangy thing is in place, but its just over the top of its connection

Yeah, that's the ribbon cable, and that's the interface from the LCD to the motherboard. You do need it to run, but what's the big deal? Just snap it back in place. There should be a gray tab above the white plasic part of the holding mechanism. It may appear to be in there rather tight, but it's not; take a flathead screwdriver or a fingernail and pop it up. Then put the ribbon cable (the "orange thing" ) back into there and clamp the gray piece back down. Easy as pie.
Good luck!

Is it possible to hook the psone screen to the gamecubes av outputs? if yes, it would make my life a lot easier

yes, with solder of course

just cut the wires off and wire them to the screen

good, good

thanks, just needed to know. wasn't 100% sure. is the ground needed to be connected to the ports, or is it unimportant?

Thanks in advance

you only need to connect one ground, and that can go to any ground on the psone screen

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

my screen has just stopped working. i had it running perfectly. I tried to cover up som,e of the remaining wires, and something happened. when i was doing this the picture just disappeared. now everytime I connect the ground to a wire, i get a flash from the backlight and then it turns off. the sound works well, but the picture doesn't show up, or is very faint. I checked the connection, but it was ok.

Any ideas?

I think I know what the problem is now. The backlight is broken.
I realized this when I read daguuy's guide on how to make the n64p.
I have a picture of the 'ghost' here.

(the picture makes the screen look a bit bright, but its not)

PS: You may be able to tell that its Majora's Mask playing

sounds like your back light went out, did you led mod it, if so make sure the leads on the leds arnt touching and make sure they arent touching the metal around the screen

BÃg Ã · Post by **BÃg Ã** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 3:13 pm

no, i didn't do the led mod

. Another thing is that the screen colours are opposite from what they should be, and the image moves every 5 seconds

I think I know what the problem is. How many volts are you putting in this thing? I'd check to make sure you've got the proper operating voltage, because your screen is functioning as if the input voltage is too high. Try using the original power adapter and see if you get the same problem.
