it sure doesn't. :(

My meter doesn't 'beep' not that I know of. I was able to get my FB2 to work... And I was able to get a ROLLING picture from the Atari 2600 board. I am guessing this video mod does not work with this screen. Not completely. I may need to perhaps redo the video mod to the newer one... or I...

any help out there? :shock:

Retrying this:

The pics above are not of my portable... those are pics of others. But that 3.5 inch article is not the right one. My boards are different. Here's my portable:

I'm back. I decided to get a different screen to redo some of my portable. It is a bigger screen, and from what I've been told it is easy to use. I got the 3.5" Pustom that you see on ebay or DX. So I went to search out the pinouts for the Pustom screens. This is the one of the 2.5 inch And...

Would this work for me? http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mA-12V-Rechargeable-Lithium-Battery-For-Camera-etc_W0QQitemZ260460915669QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca4ae2bd5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Okay... I removed the control board... I assumed that would help things out according to Ladyada's site. Now... I don't have sound. LOL Do I need to amplify the sound from the Atari? I didn't read anything about that. Btw... still same problems with the video rolling after a bit. I got...

I took that 14.4V battery apart, just to do it. It has 4 cells in it, and is connected to a small board. Obviously the connection is strange as it goes into a laptop that way. Now... what can I do to wire that so that it will recharge? Here's a bit more info on the hip screen pad...

Hmm... got another question. I found an old Laptop battery... think that will work? I would need to take it apart obviously.... but here's what it is: DC 14.4V 2000 mAh Toshiba Li-ion Battery Pack Model No PA3450U-1BRS Is that even going to last a long time at 2000 mAh? Also... what if I...

will a 11.1v pack screw up the screen?

Can you show me an example of the type of battery you are talking about? Thanks!

How do I 'step-up' voltage? What can I do to make this run for a while?! LOL Also, will the advice in Ben's book work for adding a wall wart plug? I would like to do that as well.

Okay... I pulled out the ol' meter and decided to check everything out. It is a power issue. I am 100% sure of that. Generally a battery will 'replenish' itself a tad once you turn it off and leave it off for a bit. (Kind of like throwing your cell phone battery in a freezer if you need...
