So I got back into finishing my GC portable and I've been tying to get my screen to run off it's power supply. The screen is a Haier HLT71 screen and the battery that used to run it is 7.4V. The battery stopped working a few years ago and I've been using a cable I soldered that plugs in to a car adapter that you would plug into your wall (if I made that confusing,I probably did, you use it to power things that have a 12v car plug, in your home). So because of that adapter, I keep thinking that the screen will work with 12V. It doesn't. When I plug the GC power supply into to the screen, the psu craps out and stops working for a few minutes.
I'm not sure if it needs 7.4V or if it's just a werid problem; I'm going to want to find a power supply to power them both but I don't know if I need to get a regulator or just a different psu for this.
