Re: Modifying a 3.5" car display for USB power.

I can't get it to run from 5V. The top left 8-pin chip is the voltage regulator right? If I remove this, can I rewire it to run from 5V?

Re: Modifying a 3.5" car display for USB power.

Thanks for your replies.

I will try to run the board straight from 5V to the board, and will post back.

I can't seem to upload any better pictures directly. Here is a link to two higher res images.

Re: Modifying a 3.5" car display for USB power.

Hey all,

Really useful tips; thank you very much!

I recently purchased a similar screen for my Pi to power from USB, but the PCB looks somewhat different. Please can someone help to identify what needs to be changed/removed?
