Hi Steve, thank you for all of your help. I found a 10000mAh 5V battery pack already, now just need to find a converter, I'll keep you posted. Have a good night and thank you again :) Hopefully this will do the trick :)
Hi Steve,
I have had the lower powered units for a little while now. A friend of mine had a 12V power source he used to power one of the monitors and that is how I was able to check that it works.
Can you recommend a specific DC-DC converter and power supply I can purchase off of Amazon or...
Here are some more clues that may help. On the battery it says-
Input 5V/1A Max
Output 5V/1A Max
Capacity: 8.14Wh(2200mAh)

Yes, I purchased 2 of these monitors and tested one on 12V supply and it worked perfect, but same situation when trying to power them individually with the 5V battery power pack and booster. I even bought another 5V battery and booster and same results.
Just tried the 5VDC supply directly to the monitor and nothing.
Purchased the other step up booster and can only get the power from the 5VDC supply to go to 10V according to the multimeter. I tried
connecting that 10V booster to the monitor and I just get one little light blink from the...
Old Steve, thank you for your insightful information about all this. I wish I knew more intricate details about electronics like you and the others on this post do. I guess you can only learn by doing it and making mistakes. I guess starting with the 12V power source directly into the monitor is...
I purchased one of these step adjustable step up converters, that way I can hook up a multimeter, and adjust it to put out 12V from the 5V power source. Hopefully this will do the trick-

Thanks Adam! Not sure where to go at this point with it, but I appreciate you looking into that.
Thanks Skidood! That's a good idea! I think you are right about the grounds situation, something is off. Seems like such a simple
thing to figure it out. Connecting the monitor straight to to a 12V...
Hi Adam, thanks for your reply. the monitor uses 12V
Here is a link to the booster-

So for a project I am doing, I'm taking a 5V USB power bank through a 12V booster step up regulator to power a 12 volt monitor. So far all I am getting is smoke coming off the booster. Been asking for help through electronics people I know, but I am not really getting anywhere, so I thought I...
