Ps2 laptop...yes i know another one

[samjc3]

i would perfer a 15-16" w/ speakers
but i can do without the speakers

then do the vga mod and use a computer monitor.

i already am but how to i wire the batteries for the ps2 slim (8.5v) and the lcd monitor (12v)

you use a 12 volt battery (actually 11.1v or 14.8v with a pcb that converts to 12v) and then use a Ticard to get the 8.5v. or you buy an scph9000+ which uses 7.5 volts, then use 4 or 5 7805's in parallel.

im useing lit-ion batteries that add up to 14.8.
I have a regulator that imputs 4 - 25v and outputs 1-10v
how would i go about hooking the 12v monitor with it alone with the ps2 slim 8.5v

not easy. the monitor probably needs the 12 volts for all its voltage converters to work properly. you may be able to do a led mod, though. but, i don't think you can use just that regulator. also, on your regulator, does it support high enough amp draw?

What are the 7805s for.........?

OSHI- i meant 7808, whoops.

LAWL. Just making sure, thought you were going a bit loopy.

7808s generally can handle 1-1.5 amps, I'm curious as to why you'd need 4 of them for a ps2 slim? Don't ps2 slims draw somewhere around 1.2 Amps? Or am I just remembering wrong......

they draw like 4.5 amps, plus a screen which is like 1.2.
