If it doesn't work, you come here and ask questions. Think about all the people who have had problems, but got their portables working after a bit of help.

Usually, unless you really screw up, you will end up with either a working system or working screen, so if one thing gets shot, you still have part of it.

Thank you, i didnt think of that, if i had a BIG problem with something, i would want the system to break more, it depends, if i were making a dreamcast portable, id rather the system to break then a PS1 screen, if i had a PS2, id rather have the PS2 to work, lol

If the system breaks, find out why it died. At least you can say you learned what NOT to do. When I got my 1st screen, I was probing some of the wires and 2 leads got grossed by accident. I blew out the power inverter for the backlight. Now I know what 2 wires NOT to cross.
