I don't have that screen, but on the screen you should know where ground and +12v is


just hook positive from the screen to the yellow of the power supply molex
and ground from the screen to any black on the power supply molex

The Smoking Monkey's standard disclaimer is "Check all wiring with a multimeter prior to applying electricity to your hardware - any cock up is entirely the users problem".

C!

You will fry your lcd. If you dont already have a hu, the one over at digitalww has a psu for lcd screens.

technically your car voltage can drop and spike up high. But I rarely see this. Right now I have my screen tapped off a fuse and its worked great for about a year? At home you can power off your power supply. Yello ~~> 12+, adjacent black wire is ground.

I have succesfully hooked up my LCD indoors. What you are going to need is a ac-dc power converter box. I have one of these at home. Its about 4" x 4" and i used to use it for CB radio in my house. The box has connections for cig. adapter and for inidivdial wires too. All you have to do is plug the box in the wall, then plug ur lcd wire into the box. I wish i could get pics, but its at home and im at school. I dont know how much my dad paid for it either. I hope that helps.

i have an old big AT PSU, i use for anything that requires 12 volts, lcd, head unit etc. it work great
