PCEGT replace with 3.5inch TFT LCD

That should work, check your connection on pin 40, that's is the luma. Make sure it's not bridge with pin 39 or loose.

Weak how?, recheck your resistor values and transistor pinout

Any new LCDs working? I think my TE is done with mods, I might feature it on a YouTube review hopefully "soon" which usually means 2 years! Lol

LCD mod, controller mod, switch less region mod and I'm hoping to add in component mod.

I had this on the back burner for a while, it was almost done but something was acting up but finally fixed it today.

I have that same problem with my "soons" or "eventually..." Gotta try to resist saying or hoping to do various things out loud. Heh.

[Duo_R]

Yeah your totally right!

[turbokon]

I'm still looking for that perfect one that doesn't show the "AV1" on start up.

[Duo_R]

Are there screens working again? Links?

[turbokon]

These work for me the last batch I ordered.

I use these for my NOMAD mods.  Does not show AV1 on startup!

For those that want the smaller 2.38" LCD screens (the CAF257 was mentioned on another site) anywhere I can source it?

Been looking at this mod, has anyone managed to do this mod in the UK. I love the console so much I don't trust myself in case I muck it up!

The images on the first page are up the spout, can someone re-upload them please

I did this exact mod to my Nomad last year and I was completely blown away by the picture quality. Unfornately I used one of the TFTs that reads "AV1" for like 5 minutes. Although it doesn't really bother me, I'd definitely try to get one that doesn't next time.

I used shielded 75ohm video cable (sacrifice almost any yellow plug RCA video cable to get one free) and grounded it at both ends for the signal wire. It probably wasn't necessary, but it can't hurt since you're sending a composite signal amongst all of those electronics.

It has a CRT mesh type look that makes the pixels really pop on the screen:

Before the mod (and recap) I couldn't read any of the text in the craptastic LOTR game.

Those photos look great, SmokeMonster.  Now I wish I had a Nomad.

I found the box of parts that I ordered to do the LCD mod. I ordered everything x100 sans the screen with the intention of passing it along to people who wanted to get this mod done. Once I figure out what makes a "complete kit" I'll get back with everyone. thesteve was walking me though it about three years ago, and I had to abandon the project.

hopefully "soon" which usually means 2 years! Lol

I feel you. I just found the PM from you requesting the parts. Apologies for not getting back with you in... 2 years.  :oops:

I still hold out hope for a cheap LCD panel that can be made to accept raw RGB or at least a better signal than Composite. So far, ones with S-Video shoot up in price significantly over the $20 Composite-only models.
