Want To Upgrade Screen, Is It Possible?

[Radek]

Yeah it seems it is possible, but you might have to mod the power slightly. Plugging n MK2 screen into an MK1 works for a second or 2 before it (i'm guessing) fades due to lack of power.

Could you say about it more? The GP2x is still working after the fade?

In "MKI" the backlight is made of six white leds connected serially. They are driven by around 18V. Perhaps the new screen has some other backlight led configuration and different voltage requirement.

Actually, it was the other way round
Plugged an MK1 screen into the MK2.
It turned on with a white flash, showed the black gp2x U-Boot screen, it faded into black and all that was left was a greyish screen (black with backlight).
Did that each time I tried. Both the gp2x and the screen survived

Didn't try putting an MK2 screen into an MK1, as I figured out it wouldn't work anyway then...
