Thread: Please help: Lilliput LCD fried??

Was wondering if maybe someone could help me, I have an 8" Lilliput lcd screen, (the new ones i guess, since it has the snap-in connector instead of the old usb one) well anyway I received the monitor byitself with no cables or anything from my friend who wants me to get the replacement cables for it, he went on a trip and lost the bag that had the cables in it. I took it home and hooked it up to a universal DC adapter, set the voltage at 12V and think I may have fried something, I didnt set the polarity since I did not know which setting it needed, but nonetheless it was plugged in for about 15 seconds and pushing the power button did nothing, but after about 10 seconds I heard a "sizzling" sound, like some kind of liquid was boiling or something, I immediately unhooked the power from the unit, but noticed a strong smell of what I was at first puzzled by, but remembered I had used something earlier that smelled just like it, finally it came to me, it smelled like Noxon 7, the metal polisher and cleaner (comes in a green bottle and is great for clwaning up metal but anyway...). I'd say this is the only thing I could describe it as, it was very pungent and strong, so I dont know if I fried the unit, or maybe I just fried a fuse/diode inside (hopefully) that was there in case something like this happened and maybe
I could replace it myself and get it working again, any help would be much appreciated, I would feel really bad giving my friend back a non working lcd when he trusted me enough to try and help him. Thank you again, feel free to contact me at detonatorz@aol.com I check my email several times a day.
Also I still need to get the replacement cables so any info would be also very very appreciated.
