i hooked up my psone screen to the n64, but i still had the original power. it ran for like 5 minutes, and then completely stopped working. is there anything i can do to make it work again (before i have to go buy another one), and was it the voltage/current from the original power that fried it?
thanks

make sure your batteries are completely charged, the screen won't work if it doesn't get enough amps.luke_hankins wrote:i hooked up my psone screen to the n64, but i still had the original power. it ran for like 5 minutes, and then completely stopped working. is there anything i can do to make it work again (before i have to go buy another one), and was it the voltage/current from the original power that fried it?

Re: broken psone screen?
Are you saying the whole setup with the n64 and psone screen ran for 5 minutes? Because if so then it sounds like an overheating problem. Or your getting to a certain part of the game and the n64 doesn't have enough power to run whats on screen. What's the voltage and capacity of your battery?
Re: broken psone screen?
well the n64 definitely still works, no, no certain part of the game. battery is a little over 7 volts, which should be fine, right?
the problem might be that i charged the battery with the power cord for the psone screen, but i don't see how that could be the problem if the psone is designed to work with that power cord. since it is, how could that power cord made the battery too powerful? the voltage was still regular.

Re: broken psone screen?
Actually to charge a battery the charger has to have a higher voltage than the battery. The voltage of your battery seems to be fine, but we still don't know the capacity. A 7.4 volt battery is actually about 8.5 volts when it's fully charged so the battery may not be charged enough. The psone charger will not charge the battery and voltage drops slightly under load so maybe your at about 6.9 volts. And in my experience the n64 drops out at about that much.
So all you have to do is get a real charger.
