Just been given a proline TFT LCD 5 inch TV thing s:D :D s:D
It's missing the power cable fo run off the cig lighter though s:( :( s:(
I've looked on ebay but i'm not even sure what i'm looking for s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Next to the jack it's got DC-12V +-0)-
Can anyone guide me in the right direction so i dont melt said item s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted: or melt the car s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
make it yourself, get a plug from rswww.com nd a length of wire and connect it into the existing car wireing
The jacks are usually 12 volt at the tip (or hole) and 0v on the ring ... but not always s:? :? s:? so you'll need to know for sure what the polarity is or take a chance!
I've faced this before and found the answer on the circuit board where the power leads were soldered in. Sure there must be an easier way without dismantling though (?possibly a meter to determine which wire the chassis is grounded to?)
its should be written on the unit which way round in the form of a c with a dot in it, the c being the outside link and the dot being the inner
on the back it's got 6W and (-)-@-(+)
(the @ being the c with the dot)
Is this what you mean Stu?
That'll be the one - Centre is +ve and outer is -ve
Now, providing it runs on 12v DC you can plumb it into a power source on the car. For extra safety, you might want to put an in-line fuse on the +ve line (someone else can tell you what value to use - ? 1amp s:oops: :oops: s:oops: ).
Everything you need can be had from rswww.com, or your local Maplin or even Halfrauds.
Ill Post in advance then

1amp would be fine as 6W @ 12V is 0.5A s;) ;) s;)
