hay there mate just watching your thread and i to have just got one of these psone screens as my lilliput 7" has deicied to crack it,this is all i could get hold of untill i can get a bit more funds together,now i dont know to much about these lcd screens and so i guess ill be watching to see how you go with yours but heres a question,are you going to do the vga mod or rca mod that ive been hearing about or do you know of a way that you can conect the dvd player or pc to the lcd????any way good luck with your project,check out myne if your interested its all most complete,well was untill the screen played up.......
i'am goning to try to have both inputs, as for hooking it up to my dvd player it works fine i use a stero 3.5mm to composite video\audio which plugs right into the back of any vcr and dvd player though this wire does not come with the screen.
ok well ive dismantled the lcd here are some pics
Birds Eye view of it
The lcd from the back with my modification to the backlight case so i can still use the metal frame for holding the lcd 😛

I was thinking about buying one of these used from a buddy of mine. Was wondering if there is by any chance a plastic or plexi cover or anything to prevent the lcd from directly being scratched or if the lcd is right out in the open? (His is pretty scratched up..) Thanks for any info. And keep up the good work on the project.
theirs nothing protecting the screen, its just lcd and then the backlight, so i wouldnt recommend buying it well it does depend on how many scratches, you can always try ebay.
oh this is 4 anybody who tries dismantling this screen u gotta remove the speaker plastic mesh to the screws under it or u will break your controller board or your lcd.

ok i found my light source its a 300watt halogen, though its still not 4 sure because this thing gives off tons of heat but it also gives off tons of light.
heres a pic of the bulb.
I'll me mostlikely switchin lights though this thing gets way too hot like i can cook and egg in a pan above the light. Anybody know a bright a and cool and small but cheap light source 😛

k well i'll have some pics soon as i get my projection lens i tried to use a Nikon 200 dollar lens from a full manual camera which is worth the price of a new projector lol anyways it didnt work 🙁 .
Camera lenses work the *other* way! 😀
The lamps in DIY projectors get very hot. Most people use fans on their light engines.

looks cheap from that source.. $42 for a ballast and about $15 for a bulb.
anyone know of any major drawbacks of that particular setup?
