Miscellaneous PSone/Intec screen questions

Post by bicostp »

I don't want to pull a corky, so I'll post my questions here.

To start off with...

How much of a power draw does the PSone mobo take? The external power supply says it puts out 7.5v at 2 amps, and I take it this figure includes the screen?

The Intec screen takes 12v at 500 ma/h (or at least that's what the power supply puts out.) Short of doing an LED mod, is there any way of getting it to work at 7.5v properly?

You have to remember... For soem reason, what they print on those power converters usually insn't 100% correct. I have a 7.5v adapter that puts out an actualt 12v! Thats a major difference! I would test the plug myself with a DMM to make sure... Don't listen to what those things say...
