OFFICIAL (Raven) Panasonic 7" LCD Monitor Thread
This is the thread where people who have purchased the Panasonic 7" LCD Monitors that Raven was selling get to share how they hooked up the little guys and got them going. Also, you can post your questions for others about your monitor. I have 2 of these and 3 of Nephasth's wiring harnesses. I have not used anything yet as I have other projects lined up before making my portable test bench. However, I will start things off...
I am new to the monitor business. I have never capped a monitor nor have I actually repaired a monitor. All I have ever done is adjust the little dials in the back to mess with the screen. I am starting this thread as a resource for myself and others.
Here is the pin-out diagram for the monitor...
There are 3 sets of grounds and 2 sets of 12v inputs for the monitor's power connector...do the grounds need to be linked and the 12v need to be linked to get power to the monitor???
Same grounding question for the video output. Also, where does the 4:3 wire go (if needed)??? If it's not needed, I should just cap it off to prevent it from shorting anything, right???
SaminVA has already done a ton of work so I'll let him know to post all his vids and material in this thread so it is all centrally located. (UPDATE: message sent)
