Hey guys, sorry if this is a noobish question, but i decided to ask before i do so i don't fry anything like i have before. I'm trying to power the hip gear with the audio and speakers working.

I've used the search function and read all of ladyada's notes on the hipgear, and what i gather is that ...

i'm running it to the television. maybe that's where the problem lies?

i took it off because i was going to have it elsewhere with a heatsink attached. then i decided to test it and i had the wires backwards... yeah i'll make sure to quadruple triple million check everything next time. hopefully the graphics can be fixed, because the audio and everything else works ...

i just wired my 7805 regulator backwards and powered on the mini snes... so the input for the regulator was in the output +5v to snes, and the output 5v of the reg was put in the input voltage. now the snes won't turn on... does that mean it got fried? when i use a multimeter, current stops at the ...

is there any way to test if the amp output of my batteries are enough? the book says the snes only takes ~350 mA, which seems like a load that alkalines can handle. I tried it with a 9.6v nimh 1800 mAh battery, but it did the same thing.

also, when connecting the battery to the regulator, it's ...

I just started making my first portable snes, and i'm trying to follow ben's book's instructions. So far, i've removed the power and reset switches, the dc jack, and the regulator (i have not removed the A/V jack yet). I jumped the power switch to "on", then i used a regulator and attached the +5v ...
