PS One Screen - How fragile

Radon199 · Post by **Radon199** » Sun May 15, 2005 9:37 pm

Ok I bought my PSOne screen today and it should arive sometime this week. I'm gonna go get the rest of my LEDs and stuff tommorow or tuseday depending on how soon my local Radio Shack is getting the new "Source" stuff in (Never try and make a portible during a corperate takeover).

Anyways... the real question how fragile is the PSOne screen? I've read on some screen sites that if you chip the screen. Bam its gone. So how hard is it to break?

Can't help you much there but LCD screens usually have screen protectors for a reason

The other day somebody said that it broke if you even touched it. I know how you feel about the source. Hopefully, they will be better than RadioShack, and go back to selling useful stuff.

actually i was pretty harsh with my first screen and it still works

I'd say they are like a CD and hold it the same way as a CD to

CDs? fragile? you gotta be kidding me. I have dropped CDs on end, and they bvounced and rolled away. I had a burned copy of a Bill Engvall CD* that got a pretty nasty gouge taken out of it on the plastic, non-label side. I just took some crazy-fine sandpaper to it and finished off with Turtle Wax. IT STILL WORKED!

not like scratching a cd like completely cracking one in half

Well, it is a thin piece of glass. Modifying mine I was able to press fairly firmly. But I mostly used my finger nails between the metal shielding and plastic to pry it open, touching the screen as little as possible.
