I got a 10.4" tft lcd power acoustik monitor for free because it dosent have the plug to it. So I need to hardwire it. when I stripped the wire I have bare wire red (my guess acc) yellow (my guess 12+) black (my guess )ground brown (my guess a/v) blue white. I only need ground,a/v1 in, and acc power. my guess are from a monitor I hard wired b4

Are any of the wires shielded? Chances are the black is ground and red is power. Most of these monitors have only switched power. The other 4 wires are audio and video inputs. You will have to figure out what is what after you get it turned on.

none are shielded, the only one thats diffrent is the bare wire. Iam guessing its going to be the a/v ground

ok after actually cutting the plug off, the bare wire is wrapped around a white wire, so thats my video signal. the brown,yellow,green,red ,black,white and blue are single wire. one has to be power (red??) ground(black??) ones the dome light

open the monitor and look at the circuit board it might be labeled.

get me a model number on the screen. i just did this to a monitor too since the only place to get the cable with the plug was from dei and they wanted like $30. i opened up the monitor and got the info from the board.
