Still no success
I do not understand how you have being able to get image. In those picture you are connecting both AV1 and AV2 to TV and ground (yellow and white cables). Isn´t it @Fleder and @RazorX ?

Anyway, congratulations :)
Yeah, you are right.
Only Yellow OR White are to be connected to TV and then GND to the pin besides that, not both.
since its working for him im guessing AV2 is grounded atleast when AV2 is not active, thats my thought anyway

Hey ;)

So like I said , everything is done accordingly to RazorX schematics , I didn't do nothing else but followed the picture
I uploaded new pictures so you can see better > http://imgur.com/a/rGa28
And thank everyone for contributing and helping me, I actually can't believe this is happening.
The project that I am doing is actually based on Gameboy color console, so I was just wondering if there is any way to save original PCB or I have to get everything from the internet ?

Again, glad you got it working - that's great! :) But please, *please* clean up your wires/soldering. You should have next to no metal exposed when you have the wires inserted into the holes and a small blob of solder making the connection. The soldering on your screen controller board is especially concerning.

You're dealing with a device that will have a rechargeable battery in it, so wiring/soldering like you have here may be not only unreliable (and potentially damaging to surrounding components) but could be dangerous as well.

My guess is you could do something similar with the GBC controller board as I did in the guides (that is, tapping into the button traces).

Keep us posted on your progress! I know lots of folks have wanted to see a game boy color build. :)
