I'm looking to get one of these kits:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/EJ070NA-01J-1024x600-Display-Monitor-Raspberry/dp/B00H2GXWPA/
To use with a Raspberry Pi.
Hooking up I imagine will be fairly simple, as the Rpi can just connect via HDMI.
What I would like to do though, is have a single point of power for both the RPi and this LCD board.
Would this require some soldering/bridge to achieve this?
Or does anyone know of another solution which could be easier? I'm not experienced with soldering unfortunately.
I was thinking of ripping apart an old netbook I have gathering dust, to get the LCD from that, but I then thought getting the correct parts of cable and the power from the main board might be a bit tricky.
These kits seem pretty simple, so looking at this option.
I plan to put the Rpi and this LCD into a little box, with a joystick and 4 buttons, just to use for some MAME.
Any help with the shutting down appreciated, if I could just press that LCD power button and have it shutdown the Pi too, that would be ideal ... but I don't know how
