    Need help with LCD connection

    OK long story short - Buddy bought a car, last owner of said car left a 7.2'' Power Acoustik LCD in the glove box, buddy owes me money + free lcd = I got a free lcd.

    Ok so the problem is this thing only has one connector. Power and video into one 8 pin connector. I need to be able to plug this into the carputer and I would like the power to be ran seperatly from the video so there is not interferance. Can't find any pics online but heres some ASCII art for ya

    if it is in fact the 76H, then it was left in the glove box for a reason. It is a STN LCD, which is junk. Not good for video, or movies, and only has rca input. There is no vga input, so if you wanted to connect to a computer, it would be through an rca out only. Plus, as a 7.2" widescreen, windows would look like **** through the tv out.

    that lcd runs on such little current, there probably won't be any noticible interference, which is how the manufacturer can get away with making a single connector.

    Well until I get my 15" I'll use this to get me by. Can you tell me a way to connect it anyways? I'm sure I will still have a use for it.

    I honestly can't tell you, due to lack of data sheets for that unit, and not having it here to look at.
    If you can open the unit and take some nice closeup pictures of the control board, where the cable connects to, I may be able to identify the pins for you.
