can someone please help me with my screen?

I would modify it to run on 5v if someone can figure out how: the only chip that looks similar to the one in the tutorial seems to be a flash memory, not a regulator:

Any help would be appreciated!

I have the same board. Yellow and white is your two inputs. Also I managed to get it running on 5v soldering Vin on this pin

@pixelplus, you are a saint, you, your children and your children's children should never suffer any pain, and be successful in all your ways.

How in the world did you figure this out? there is no way you traced the circuit...

if possible, this should be added to the wiki...

Happy to help

I did trace it, with 12v input I started to measure each pin on every suitable circuit and on that one I found 12v on one pin and 5v on another, figured that must be the regulator so I just soldered it there and sang a prayer

Don't know if you get the same result just desoldering the regulator as some guides tell you to do, but as long as it works I'm happy

White cable is AV2. You are wiring it to GROUND. Search for @Fleder guide. You just need to solder either yellow oe white, not both.

Dunno if this helps anyone but I just tested 'Variant 7' on the wiki, from BW Corp, and it seems to work without any modification.

Hi everyone,

I've seen this screen on Redit :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVUEXDZroZ0

It looks so perfect for our Gameboy Zero.
The topic is is located here : https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/c ... raspberry/

But it seems that it's too wide to fit in a DMG-01 shell.
What do you think ?

very nice but it doesn't seem to take a/v input. it takes I2C, so you need to wire it to the gpios, which will not work well or easily -as wermy explains here:

They are claiming to get 60FPS out of it, which would be really nice for gaming. But the screen seems to be to wide to fit into the DMG shell. Couldn't find the exact measurements for it though.

I've contacted the seller and he give this answer :

The size is 8.9mm*5.6mm*5.1mm(H)


I think it's too large for the DMG-01 shell. I've asked him if he has an LCD with similar specs but in different aspect ratio. I'm waiting for his answer.
