PSone screen getting warm.

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.

PSone screen getting warm.

Post by LeonHikari »

Somewhere in the middle of the screen, on the left side, the PSone screen gets a little bit warm. Also, the screen itself gets a bit warm. Is this normal for it to get warm like that?

What are you running it with? AC adapter, batteries, etc.
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.

I'm running it off of the standard 7.5v 3.0a PSone screen AC adapter.

Nope. I mean, it's not like it'll burn you. It's just slightly warm.

That's normal. I thought it was really hot. it gets that way after playing for a while. No machine is 100% efficient in converting energy. some is lost to heat energy.
