Has anyone been able to get a hold of schematics for one? Not pinouts, I mean some actual, component-included ones. I burnt out B13 on the board (though due to its position on the board all I can see it being is an anti-transient capacitor or a diode, possibly a resistor) and I can still use the screen, but I'd rather be on the safe side and replace it.
People here use this model a lot, and I was just hoping some one might have them.

Where is B13? Someone who has a working PSone screen could measure the component's value and let you know what you would need to replace it with.

It's on the back of the board, near the upper left-hand corner. Rather isolated. But the problem is I think it's a capacitor, which you need a special instrument to measure the value of.
Re: PS1 Screen Schematics
Most of the better multimeters are able to measure capacitance. However, measuring the values of components while they are still in the circuit is not a reliable way to determine their value. If there are multiple paths that connect the + probe to the - probe, the measurement will be the single-path equivalent of that multi-path configuration, rather than just the single path on which the probes are placed. For example, if that component is a capacitor, and it is in parallel with another capacitor, then your measurement across that single capacitor will return as C1 + C2, even though you intended to only measure C1.
