Do a web search on DIY PCB's Eric it's not really hard to make them and there are a few options.

Thanks for the reply so quickly. I only fear that if I do that the board will be sone sort of rectangle, and that's just as shitty for this situation. It really has to be shaped for it to work. I'll google it right now anyway tho.

You could do it with wire wraps if it's not complex.

(Multi pinned board and you just run a bunch of wires instead of the printed circuits)

the other thing you can do is just cut the PCB and join the tracks with wire links and fold it behind if theres no components right on the cut line

Thanks for the replies. You guys got me thinking maybe i had a chance ahaha. I can't do that wire trick as there isn't room to cut any excess material off anyway, the harness plugs are the entire width of the widest part of the board! The ONLY way is to have a board custom made, since i looked and even flipping it won't work because the legs coming from the lcd screen aren't symetrical. The bottom ones are grouped large, and the top are little bunches so it wouldn't line up with the holes when flipped.. This sucks majorly.

Do you have any good pics of the rear of the boards?

**IJ.** · February 8th, 2006, 02:18 AM

Jimi: ROFLMAO Does Stretch have any good pics fullstop!!

(ya know I'm only teasing don't ya Eric)

Ahahah I got a bit better with my last 3 pic eh? I flashed with them, but it's still kinda shitty. I'll talk to my pops today, and see if I can get good pics of the board with either his camera, or possibly a friends'. I have to sleep now it's 3:18am here.
Later guys.
