I'd like to test my screen.

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I'd like to test my screen.

Post by jeffslot »

Hi guys,

Happy Holidays. I hope you all get exactly what you want for the holidays.

I've got a led modded psone screen, that I would like to test. Can anyone be so kind as to give me some instructions on how I can test that my mod was done sucessfully before I move on with other parts of the project. I have a rc battery (7200 2000) for testing purposes. Thanks again.

You should be able to wire your 7.2v battery to the PSone screen and the LEDs should come on instantly.

If you still have the power dongle, you can attach / solder wires here:

Thanks guys.

I figured out I didn't even have to do any soldering as I already had a modified battery tip from a previous psone project, so I simply plugged it in & check out picture below:

I dont think you fry the board you fry the components on the board, i think you will be alright because all that is on that board are a couple traces and a power adapter

Hi guys,

Guess what? Give up? It works. I wanted to quick get a picure out there while it was still working (How's that for optimism?). Thanks for all your help.
