taking apart PSone screen?

cyco vision · Post by **cyco vision** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 10:21 am

Last week I bought five PSone screens for fifteen dollars each from KB toys. So, I thought about it; with all these screens I decided to make a N64 portable. It was my favorite system as a kid, and it still is. Anyway, I went to my friendâ€™s house and picked one up for ten dollars then came home to work on it.

I began to try and open the PSone screen, but alas it won't open. So can someone explain, or direct me on how to open it?

make sure you get the 2 screws under each speaker and under the rubber pads. Of course, you'll have to do the visible ones as well. Then take a small flat screwdriver and pry it open.

I bought their whole shipment, and I am not willing to sell them, but if they do get anymore in I'll pick them up and inform you.

Thanks for the info guys. Appreciate it.

They're sticky on the back. Just be careful and you'll have a mere dent on the side.

I took the bottom apart, and began to try and pry the screen but I didn't want to break it. Hopefully I didn't hit the LCD board or something.

So I tried to do that ^, but it didn't work. Was it because I didn't use the playstation with it? Did I fry the bottom boards, the ones you see when you unscrew the first three screws, with Static? Did I hit the LCD board with the screwdriver? Help is appreciated.

1 that method should work, though some psone screens suck and you have to mod them...
2 unless you got the top off it, no. All the important stuffs up top by the actually lcd...

Well, I tried to pry open the top, going to the bottom of the screen, so I am not sure if I hit or not. I'm going to open another one of my screens and see if that method works or not.

Well if you never got to the insides of the top, I dont think you wrecked anything with static.
