zenith screens.

are there any differences between the psone and ps2 zenith screens? as far as internals go? it seems that i can get a ps2 one for cheaper. i'm making a snesp, and i can't find anyone who's used a ps2 screen for anything other than a portable ps2. it would work fine for the snes right? thanks.

I think the speakers and connector board are different. The screen itself and controller board are the same.

I think they are all the same. The company probably just changed the packaging on them to sell for specific consoles. I search on ebay and all I find when I search for psone or ps2 zenith screen is one that is listed for ps2 but in the auction details the packaging is an xbox model.

They're exactly the same inside. I have a zenith and opened it up, it looks exactly the same as the psone screen.

They are completely the same. When sony discontinued them, they sold a lot of the screens to zenith, and zenith just put them in a new case.

and they gave them friggen crappy buttons. They should have kept the purple +&- buttons, the look better than those gay ones...

There's nothing wrong with the buttons.

And I agree, they're exactly the same. There are minor differences when it comes to how they're attached, but if you neglect all extraneous circuitry and just use the main board it's a psone screen.

P.S. - First step when you get it, disconnect all that extra crap, it messed mine up when I had mine.

extra crap? such as? and how did it mess yours up?

Zenith screens have five wires soldered to their respective spots directly on the back of the board. The power line has a separate voltage regulator of some sort that made everything screwey after I did the LED mod. Removing it, everything was fine.

For those interested, that's what happened. Nos is there!

Looking back, what had gone wrong was this:

- I removed the original backlight and LED modded the screen.
- This caused less current to be drawn from the system
- This caused the smaller voltage-regulating board to output less current (and more voltage), which caused the problems.

In the end I just removed the board.

oo you are an oldie goldie on this forums.

I don't really know much about nos_slived...

I don't feel that oldie goldie. Not compared to some members...many of which probably don't even come here anymore.

It's about time I go through a mid-mid-life crisis. I'm nearly 20 and have nothing named after me!
