Now on with business. This is a infant screen which [Eric] cleverly repaired, only to recognize that he a lot more than likely did it the difficult way. The screen was damaged as well as went unused up until his kid figured out exactly how to climb out of the crib, so he figured it was time to begin tracking again. Pulling the system from the brink of the parts bin he set to work repairing the damaged power connector.
Further inspection of the power adapter showed that it was spec’d to put out 5V at 1A. This falls according to USB power, so he clipped the end off of a USB-B cord as well as utilized a hunk of proto-board to inject the 5V lines into the device. It was when it came time to reassemble the situation that he flipped the board over as well as found an existing USB-B port. He might have just cut a hole in the situation to get at the connector as well as plugged the un-altered cord in directly. Oh well… we’re sure it was fun figuring out his own custom-made solution!
