Once you get a valid data sheet, let me know and I'll see what kind of diagram I can draw up for you which should clear up everything....hopefully

I will really appreciate it btw Thanx for all the information you have given me so far on the psu. Its really starting to get me comfortable with wanting to work on this thing. Before it was just eagerness, now it is pure enjoyment and I havent even got it yet

Wait until you get it fired up for the first time and start displaying stuff....that's when the real fun begins!!

trust me Im looking forward to it. My wife already thinks Im nut's. I got the LCD's as a Birthday present from a room mate because I started seeing all of these cool things people are doing with them. So when I was on ebay I saw alot of the 311's but didnt like the bulky size. Saw these and was like whoa gotta get. So he ordered them and Ive been hyped up like a mad man since. On the compy every night when I get home looking for stuff about the LCD and on here getting info from you. Wifey just thinks Ive gone on some looney venture that Ill never stay dedicated to. But as in all things it electronics and Ive been in computers since high school so I doubt this will go away too easily.

heres a dc to dc converter listed on shelly's website http://shellyinc.com/techDCtoDC.htm possible that if I need to use one that it would be one of those setups possibly.

Here is the email I had recieved from Shelly Inc.

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have been looking for a manual pertaining to one of the following model numbers on a display. Unfortunately everywhere I have looked I can not for the life of me find them and I do need the use of them so that I may hook the modules up to my system. If there is anyway you can email me the manuals or send me a copy of the manual through the mail it would be greatly appreciated.



Now the model numbers again are:
SGM240064C3
SGM24006436
SGM24006437


Thank you for taking the time to read over this email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.


Thank You,
Brandon S Austin




Well atleast they gave me a way to contact them if they dont want to cooperate. Which in a way seems like they do, but since Im not part of a business maybe not. Who knows. I guess Ill give it another day to find out. But those part numbers are the exact ones listed on their site except the first one which I can only find on a 3rdp_person Retailer who doesn't give any information onthe LCD either.

It is very well possible that the SHARP datasheet also applies for the Shelly as often manufacturers make drop-in replacements.
If you have a multimeter you'll be able to trace most voltage and datapins so you can confirm whether the SHARP datasheet is correct or not.
You're on the brink of getting a serious addiction, beware....

Id imagine I am, lol. Hoppefully these things will come in today and i can sure find out without the cooperation of shelly. but minus well try while I got them on the line.

well here is a small video of what the LCD looks like in my hands, showing the couple of wires that are already comming off of it. Did get the full product # off of it and sent it back to shelly maybe ill get the data sheet in soon Anywho, thats that. Will be back later, have to go load up some old pc's a friend is giving me. apparently it is 2 car loads full of crap, lol.

Well there w have it. This display has been discontinued, unfortunately we do not have any way of getting a data sheet to you for this particular model. Dimmit - time to go find my multi meter - grrr....

Well from what I can tell the LCD is pretty much just like the one in the RCA manual so we can use the information out of it for sure. So from there we just have to see how it goes. Also, the red and black line coming off of the lcd screen that you see in the video, what do you suspect those are for, I know it is for some type of power but what.

That's for the backlight.
Either LED or EL backlight.

alright it is an el so thats the power for it cool, the rest just hook up like on the schematic just using the pic config thats one my board but same connections.

but I am still lost on how to hook up the dc dc converter

okay I went ahead and requested 2 smaples from MAXIM the 2 items are
MAX6373KA+ and MAX6373KA. They both are part of the 637 series that One~Zero had mentioned. so I should recieve those within the week and ee where to go fromthere. I already have a max774 laying around somewhere, if e think that would do better let me know and I can go ahead and see about setting that board up.
