Buzzing Problem

So, the buzzing could be caused by the adaptor, and my connections could just be wrong, because the AC will not power the screen?

That is very odd. Mine says DC 9v, and it also says it is official Nintendo hardware. Check it with the meter just to be sure, as I think it may be a misprint on yours. As for the power adaptor, I did mean the 7.5 volt DC adaptor that came with the PSOne screen, not the NES' power adaptor. Or did your screen not come with a power adaptor? Sorry I am sounding unhelpful and I keep repeating myself, but you really should try powering the screen with the same voltage and amperage that it is designed to take, by using the origional power pack that came with the screen. Don't hook the NES up to the same power adaptor at the same time, just hook up the screen, and then hook up the NES video and audio cables, but use the NES' power for just the NES. You see what I am saying? If the screen will not work with its origional power supply any more, then there must be something wrong with it. I don't know what else to say.

Very odd indeed. Every original AC adapter I have seen outputs 9VAC, 1.3A.
The original frontloader NES has a bridge rectifier inside the console itself, changing it to DC.
Often, people use a DC adapter on the original NES. It'll work, because DC will flow through a rectifer, just on one side of the bridge.

Is yours from a newer top loader NES? Maybe they differ.

Anyway, lets ask Steve-O. Does your NES adapter output say AC9V, or DC9V?

I have 3 original adaptors, and all of them output AC9V. My NES is the original front loader.

Anyhoo, how is your screen working out, Steve-o? Did it really get wrecked? I still thin you could jump the fise and it would work again.
