It looks like the screen is powered via wall outlet, but I'm not sure. Can anyone let me know exactly how the install works?

Yes, the power cord is located on the right side of the unit, along with the IR sensor.

Forgot I mention I drilled a 2x4 into the wall studs for better support, then drilled the screen into the 2x4. I then cover it with a board and crown molding so u can't even see it when it is up. So cool when I lower it out of no where. It looks great.

Yes, it has a standard 3 prong wall plug. I believe the cords is about 6 ft long, black. I'd suggest you try to work out where you plan to plug it in before you decide where to put it. I'm having an outlet put it to try and hide the cord for when the screen is pulled up.

I have the 125 inch electric screen and it uses a normal wall outlet. I just ran a quality extension cord hidden behind wire covers.

I believe mine is plugged into the wall outlet directly as per Netgear's instructions. :-)I know it's a "guy thing," we don't read instructions, but right there on page 3 of the Installation Guide says in bold red WARNING! Do not plug Powerline devices into a power strip.

To power it through the wall you have to buy the USB plug, that's how I power it, I haven't even hooked it up to my laptop yet.

Ya that's the screen. One thing to note, when you get it, the cable on your laptop that connects to the screen may not reach the port on the screen when you go to put everything back together. There should be an extension cable that comes with this package, just plug in the laptop cable into the back of the extension cable. Also, you should definitely tape them together with some electrical tape because I've had issues with the cable becoming loose and my screen getting all out of whack. So just be aware of that, if your new screen isn't working properly make sure the cables are all properly connected before returning it.

the screen uses the USB just for power. IT should work as you are intending. I have used mine with a raspberry pi while being powered by one of those cell phone backup batteries (possibly like the one you are describing) with no problem.

Yes you can Plug, not pug anything into it just like any type of screen or monitor. You do have to plug it into a wall for power..

Yes, mine is powered and it works fine. A very easy replacement, only took about 20 minutes to install.

Russ, The Display operates on 12VDC and draws approx 700 MA of current. I power my Display from a small DC supply that was built to power a Radio Transceiver. I suppose it is possible to power the display from a "Wall wort" power transformer by fitting the Display's power leads with the proper connector. You want to be sure that the transformer is capable of supplying at last 1 Amp.

The screen can actually work off of a 5v 2a power supply. I have digital photo frame I have made with these and a pi, and I have both of them running off of the same 5v 2a power supply (with some custom wiring)

You need to have a video signal to make the screen come on. Without a signal the screen won't do anything.

There is a port for it,, but is extra... from installation.. I left mine connected as is on existing small screen

It comes with a required power chord. It also requires input from the computer in the form of dvi, d-sub, or hdmi input

Yes. The device is shipped with a power supply that plugs to your wall outlet.

you plug it into a wall outlet and then into the computer with a usb cable. so the power does not come from the computer

Stephen, the two answers below are correct. There are different screen technologies, but if you follow Carl's suggestion, you will not need to worry about that. The only other concern is look at where the connectors are on your current screen (bottom left or right) and be sure you get a screen with the connectors in the same place.

Yes and no. Check to make sure the wiring "thingy" is properly connected where the screen is being attached. It was hard for me to connect it back. Hopefully the wire isnt damaged. If u were to plug your old screen back I and it comes on then thsy may have sent a bad screen/wire "thingy". Hope this is helpful. Sorry I don't know the correct terminology, but I was able to successfully replace two of my laptop screens. Good luck!
