Modification of screen to use 5V

Hello there,
I have seen the beautiful work that this community has done and aswell seen the list of screens made to be used with 5 V. I ordered myself a 4.3" 480 x 272 px (I know it won't fit the regular Game Boy casing, but I have a 3D printed case I made myself. However it doesn't seem to want to work with 12V (Tested using a GameCube as a composite video signal) The board is quite small and my best guess is to solder positive and negative respectivly to the schottsky diode. However I am no expert and would like a second opinion, can anyone see a better way of making this board work with 5V?

The screen what purchased on this swedish site:
https://fyndiq.se/search/?q=backkamera& ... backkamera
There is not much information on the brand what so ever. The box it came in simply says car security camera. The board runs a AMT630A and has one other labled chip directly to the right of the AMT chip. Its a bit blurry even with a magnifying glass but it says something like:
BergMiore
25Q40ASNG
1704
The ribbon cable has some values written on them as follows:
ZNL043T702-P40
JGY
And the screen itself has the following on the back of it:
RT43WH006A
RGH160531
The text on the ribbon cable leads me to beliave that it is a Dong-Hua 4.3" screen. But it has not yet lead me to any conclusions about the driver board.

can you provide a clearer image of the board...
especially of the 2 chips located near the diode you highlighted....

Absolutley, here is a better image

The PNG version was to big to upload, but I hope this jpeg does the job aswell.
PS I know that there is a red wire missing on the right next to the black wire, they are the connections to the buttons for screen settings.

You'll need the test off the two 8 pin ICs, that said you could probably get away with soldering to the +ve side of the capacitor marked 10V.

In case you are still looking for a solution:
See the 4 pads on the bottom left corner? the first pin from right is 3.3V and the second is GND. those are the only 2 pins you need to power the display. Then just connect a yellow or white wire to the Pi and you will have a working lcd
Here is another board that has a similar IC and the 4 pin.
