Please help.
I have the parts to an old LightWare LCD projector. The panel is ribboned to a board that has an 8-pin connector to the power supply (which is blown). The cable connecting to the PS has one red cable and seven black cables (and the connectors are quite small). I take that to mean one positive lead and the rest negative, right? I have a power supply from an old Acer computer that I thought of using, but I don't know which wires to splice, and the wires seem to be different guages. I saw a picture of something like this in another thread, but I couldn't understand it.
Can anyone help me? Would I be better off creating a battery power supply for the panel?
Thank you.

So I should splice red to red. I take it any red coming from the PS will do? Should I splice all the blacks to a single ground from the PS?

do not assume that because of the color it is ground.
doing so may fry your panel.
You need to find a spec sheet on the controller or the power supply before tinkering with it. If you wire it up wrong, it WILL die.
if you look closely on the PCB of both units it might have the leads labeled.
