    Cool

    Your using the right cables? The jumpers on the screen are right?

    I don't know much about these LCD screens, but they are basically plug and play. Did the thing come with instructions? Is it compatible with composite video?

    make sure you are pluging the video cord in to the right connector ( sometimes its easy to hook the audio to the video ...etc.)

    look for contrast adjustments, - try it with a vcr, or playstation before the computer , sometimes the computer compoisit out has to be configed...
    then beat the hell out of the guy that sold it to you.

    Try using an external PSU of at least 1A @ 12v preferably more (2A).

    I had the same problem with a different screen and all it needed was more power.
