I am having serious trouble!

First I have a diode fall off...I soldered it back on after looking at a pic in Ben's Book

Next I think I blew another diode...one right above the composite video in, scorch marks...Don't know what to do

Now I cannot get it to cut on (still have the incandescents in there, no power to it)

I have a 12v source plugged to the screen...Is this too much?

Is there someone who can look at it for me?(as a last resort)

If you mean a PSOne screen... *gets out hammer* *smacks you with hammer for even THINKING about putting +12v into a PSOne screen*

so diagnosis fried?

12V+PSOne screen=DEAD (usually)
Have you tried bypassing that fuse mentioned in the book?

I'd say its possible that it is fried, not for sure, though. 9v is about the max PSone screens can take, there are fuses you can jump.

OK I had thought 12v was the max now I will try the lower voltage and see what happens, then jump the fuse...tomorrow(It's midnight here on the East Coast)

ok well that didn't work...

Anyone here want to help me? (As in like I ship it to you, This is usually a last resort but I am that desperate)

Well I guess you've fried a screen.

Hmm. I wonder... Do you think perhaps that frying the PCB will also fry the LCD part? I might need one of those.

I think the LCD itself is usually fine even if the board fries, I killed my GBC and the LCD still worked.

my main issue is that I got too jumpy and used a wall socket instead of a 7.2v battery like I was planning to use...Anyone got a mobo that would like to sell?
