PCEGT replace with 3.5inch TFT LCD

[compil3r]

Thanks a lot for the reply turbokon. I will play safe with the one that has the composite video in.

Also, I am having trouble finding a resistor kit that has both the 6.3k one and the 75 ohm one. The closest one is this, that has all the rest:

And I've been looking for the 6.3 and the 75 one separately (on eBay) without luck on the 6.3k one. So, any advice on where can I get these? Or maybe I can use other similar?

thesteve can chime in but I think the 75ohm is important but the 6.3k not so, you can go +/- a few 100ohm without a noticeable differents in the color output.

I think I just went with a 6.2k on ebay last time cause I ran into the same issue. Close enough http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=6.2k+resistor&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Good news! I've just found them on a little but crowded electronics shop in downtown around here. I bought both 6.2k and 6.3k just to be sure.

Thanks guys, I will start this as soon as I get the LCD

Good luck with the LCD as all will not work with this mod. My last three LCDs doesn't work for the mods and I bought them from the same place.

Oh man, I hope not. What specific store/seller/model do you recommend, to make sure it works?

Thanks!

I don't know  the model/part number but the I usually buy them from here but the last batch I bought doesn't work with the mods.

I think that's the same one I picked up based on chat with thesteve and he's run into issues getting it to work in my express as well.  He mentioned to me he purchased a few recently from them also and they didn't work either, though it sounded like he was working on a fix.  I haven't heard from him in a few weeks, though, so hopefully things are going well.

Ok, the LCD has just arrived. First thing I did was test it and all I get is a white screen... sound works, but no video. I haven't made the TE mod yet because I'm still waiting for resistors on the mail, but I tested it connecting a sega genesis model 2, and I don't get any video.

So, when you say the screen was not working with your mod, what did you get? black screen, white screen, scrambled video?

I am trying to figure out if the LCD I received is in fact defective.. :S

Thanks!

[turbokon]

I only get a white screen on mine.

[compil3r]

So maybe it's not that they don't work with the mod, but they are defective? It is supposed to take any video signal in, right?

[turbokon]

Not nessecery, these are design to be used with 12v system in car. The TE uses way less voltage. Some will be glitchy and some will not work at all at this lower voltage.

I am testing it with 12V. Any video I put, shows the same white screen. I will ask the seller, maybe we are getting defective units!
