Woo $40 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 dont wanna break it.. I need to know for sure what they are :p

Now its starting to get warm, after like 15 minutes of play, and I think the reason for that is, that its Boiling in my house, and I did the 45min test at 11 PM, (Meaning it was kinda cold in my house, So the screen didnt heat up as fast)

Well if they ARE trimpots they'll turn wiothout much effort. If they aren't, you'll realise that before you break anything.

Ouchie, Now it is getting pretty hott in one place..

and That place is: where the Ac adaptor plugs into the screen, like around the hole it plugs in, gets hot (like only a spot thats like 1.4 cm by 1.4cm big)

How can I stop it from getting hott?

Put a heatsink on it? It's kind of hard to say anything without much visual reference.

Ai, Ai, this sounds pretty bad, and the worst that could happen is that some faulty soldering job is making the positive and negative input pins touching. I recommend opening the screen and see if the pins are touching or anything, or something is causing them to touch, or maybe replace the AC apator with an official PSONE adapter, which seriously should work if this is a good PSONE screen. Also, about the opening thing. To do it, take a picture as reference when putting it back together, and get bags if there are different screws (I mean sandwich bags). That's all I have for now.

Are you talking about the Official Adaptor for the PS1, or Official adaptor for the Ps1 SCREEN?

Well The Official Adaptor for the PS1 fits, But its ment to power the PS1 That plugs into the screen. (Meaning it powers the PS1 that plugs into the other end, but I have to use another adaptor to power the screen.)
