Question
I was wondering please if you could inform me of how to connect a specific ps2 lcd screen (size 5 inches)to the ps2 (when I say specific I mean designed for the ps2 to be used in cars, but i just want to use it at home.): cause i got one today and it wont work;turn on or anything.ive got the red,white and yellow wires connected in the sockets of the screen, and I have connected the other half of that cable to the av multi out of the ps2. the ps2 appears to be working fine but with no screen it's hard to know.am i missing another cable/adaptor, or are those 2 things enough? What could be the issue? thanks for your time, and apologies for spelling and grammer.

Answer
Gday Mike,

You are probably missing the AC power adaptor for the screen as all I have seen come with one.  Not sure what model you have (Because they vary depending on the type of PS2)  The last one I looked at was a Zenith TFT LCD for a slim and it had an AC adaptor

I would get the name/make/model and google it and see what type of adaptor it needs you might be able to use an adaptor from a household item or buy a similar one to make it work.

Hope this helps.
