Novice here - I have an old LCD screen that I need to get working for a project. How can I determine what wires control power to the unit without frying circuits? I have these LCD screens that have a 6 wire input to control power (2 wires), audio (2 wires), video (2 wires). Is there a non-destructive way to determine what wire is the power wires?
I have the LCD screens but I do not know which of the 6 wires to use, what power requirements the LCD has (I am assuming 12 volt but who knows).
I tried the obvious like opening the unit up to get the wire information. I can't get the unit apart enough to determine where the wires go in order to designate power, audio or video wires.
There must be a relatively SAFE way to find out that information. Where should I start? (and no, there is no manual for these - they are old LCD screen from the 90's and I have been searching for but have not found any tech manuals or specs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike
