Ok. An update:
- I got 2 of the working... well, sort of (have not worked on the third one). Power was disconnected from the VAMP board on one, the other had a couple of connections broken.
- The blue/black wires are the brightness. Shorting them, brings the screen up.
- However, if you take a look, they look like Ass! not usable as is. That is at 640x480. I will play with the colors etc. And, yes, that picture is in focus...
The connector that was not connected:
The screen (both look the same):
I will continue to work on it after supper, but its not promising so far...

woohoo! the screen looks like it is getting a signal at the wrong resolution.
these things were made for dos/win95/98 so xp may be a bitch about going 640x480.
are they too bright? do we need to get a pot for those two wires?

Dont get too excited...
This is on Windows 98... The POST screen looks like ass too, so I dont think its a resolution thing... What were these out of originally?

do you have it plugged into a laptop? unless your laptop is from the mid to late 90s, it probably doesn't do 640x480.

the POST screen he is referring to is the Power On Self Test. basically it is the first screen you see when the computer turns on.

mine is working with the 2 spliced wires. it is displaying my laptops 1024 x 768 desktop stretched horizontally, but not vertically. so the bottom of the screen is not showing up. strange.
soon I will hook it up to my epia itx motherboard. that displays 640x480.

Its an older laptop... It can do 640x480.
Can you post a picture? Does yours look okay?

Another update...
I can get 2 of them to come up with 800x600. They look okay (not great, but okay). about 1/4 of the screen wraps top to bottom. Moving the image to the correct location leaves a very noticeable line 1/4 of the way down across the screen.
The 3rd screen is DOA. White screen and nothing comes up.
