Lilliput powered from Cig. Lighter?
I had planned on powering my Lilliput via the power wires from the lighter in my car by splicing the supllied Cig. Lighter adapter. After reading a few posts, there seems to be problems with this, correct? The suggested way is to use an Opus PS. Im not going to do that because I have a laptop and Im not going to buy one since im not going to use it w/ said laptop. So what would be the best way to power the screen if I cant directly wire it to the lighter through the adapter.

search!!!......the egg is notorious for failure....and giving your lilliput an unregulated power feed will try it (not designed for that)....power it with another regulated power supply

I did search, most post refer to the opus or schematics on building a regulator. Since I dont want to do either what is a regulator suitable for the application.

Ive read that... In it is suggestions for running it off of OPUS, off of the computer, and schematics for building regulators. Since I said Im not doing any of those, once again what is a regulator I can buy....

Read my post - #4 - and the last 2 paragraphs talk about using an alternative DC-DC regulator!

I did read it and I dont think that a portable dvd regulator or the like is any better suited than the adapter than came with my lilliput.

WTF, I did read it. Youre the one that needs to learn how to read. I asked how to do this since its suggested not to use the egg. Why would I want to use something that is notorious for failure.

Right - you could try the egg - it might be ok now with the new screens

If you notice any problems with it then get a 1200mA DC-DC reg that does 12V - the ones used for portable DVD and CD players as they will be better quality than the old egg (not a lot inside those things)

How is that? clear enough?

Yes, thank you. I was under the impression that all eggs were bad, how will I know if the newer one is suitable for my vehicle though. If my screen doesnt flicker?

yeah just make sure it doesnt get hot or the screen go brighter when you rev the engine. if it does then the regulation is crap!

the old eggs were very basic and not to be trusted!
