Ok, it took me a while to find the time to do this but I rewired the the power to my screen, and taking care NOT to reverse the polarity it still seems to power on as before (i.e. can see that the screen goes black, like it's on) :)

So, I've then tried to connect a signal (direct from my NES) but ...

Hey, I've been having the same problem over in this thread:

It shows you which fuse to bridge, which might get your screen working again... maybe?

Thanks Sam, that's what I figured...

Will have to wait til saturday to try it out and see if there's any life in the old thing

K, thanks for these tips :)

I bridged the fuse as per Hail's suggestion and the screen worked! Sort of! As in, I plugged in power (with no video input attached) and I could see the screen boot up and go darker. Result!

Then, I tried powering it off of the battery I'm hoping to use (pretty much one ...

Ok, so I've opened it up and tried wiring the power straight in (using the built in socket and powered through an AC adaptor). Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts - do you think the screen is dead? I'm getting pretty lonely in this thread

Bump...
Any suggestions?

K, I've tried a 7.5v and no dice so I guess I've got to get the guts out and see what might be up. Any suggestions? At all?!

I just want to test the screen I have but I don't have the original power cable. I tried using a multi-voltage adaptor at 6v and 9v (I know the screen is 7.5v) but the screen wouldn't power on?
Wonder if it's knackered as I bought it off ebay a couple of months ago and have only now got round to ...

Cool, thanks for your opinions. I think I'll give it a go

I'm a noob here but this battery is 7.2v / 3800mAh so I think that's the right voltage and should give me roughly 3(ish) hours for a NES and LED modded PS1 ...

Batteries, what to choose and how to use them safely are the questions I'm asking most whilst contemplating my first portable.
This website:

looks really helpful and comprehensive.

They do ship worldwide and have some interesting bits and pieces. I think I'll probably try one of these when I get round to starting my first portable so will post some pics/feedback ...

Sorry to bump this thread but I've been looking for some form of PAL Noac to play with and have just found this site:

which has not only what I'm looking for but some interesting other little tidbits (SNES buttons pads ...

Thanks Nod :)

Maybe I will give the Pal version a go after all - I just wanted to make it as small as possible! I've also noticed the Yobo Dual FC console since posting but probably using a conventional system is probably gonna be easier seeing as I have a LOT to learn. Thanks for the link too ...

Hi all,

This is my first post having been lurking around for a couple of days. I came here having been blown away by a NESp on instructables and having come here realised how much scope there is to make incredible portable consoles. I am 100% going to have a go myself and would love to try a SNESp ...
