Problem

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.

Problem

Post by Designer noob »

When I turned on the power the negative wire leading to the screen came lose and touched the postitive. It was only for a second and it created a spark. The screen doesn't turn on any more. I asked shockslayer if it was fried and he said the fuse just poped. So, I am wondering where is the fuse on the screen and what type is needed to replace it?


Update:

the third photo shows you how to power the screen if it comes out blank. If I wire it like so, won't that bypass the fuse? Can't I just take off the black piece and get a new one?

Update: I can't find the symbol F1 for the fuse on the board, I just looked. I believe the fuse should be .75a slow blow correct me if I am wrong?

Check out bacteria's guide on his site. There are many tutorials on how to fix this. There is a fuse near the bottom of the screen, if you jump it you will be fine. Just don't ever let that or anything bad happen again or else you WILL fry your screen.
