Just wanted to get some help with the screen
Just wanted to get some help with the screen
starting my gbz project and would like like some advice on modifying this 2.5" car lcd I got from eBay(http://www.ebay.com/itm/331849412301) to work on 5v. The problem is its from China and came with a box and no instructions or schematic. Also I'm a noob so and still in the process of gathering some parts but I have a majority of items I need. Here is a pic of the lcd any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ps I got the idea of using the smaller screen by watching @freakler94's YouTube video (https://youtu.be/CFNsM9iF_S4), and also because I wanted a more stock look.

Hi there,
first, try to run it with 5v before modifying it in any way.
If this does not work, take a look at the 8 legged IC if it has any number or name written on it.

Re: Just wanted to get some help with the screen
I have nothing to contribute. Just that the screen in that video is sweet.
Good luck!
