PSone led mod vs. non-led mod power

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 led mod vs. non-led mod power

Post by EvilnessNMyVeins »

In case there is a previous topic I did use search and couldn't find anything.

Would anyone happen to know the amp usage between the PSone led mod VS. the bulb because at the moment I have all but the leds for my portable and would like to know if its worth getting the leds.

So you are saying 750 with the BULB and 350 with the LED?

It's still 7.2V-9V, because you have an onboard 7805.

It won't work with anything more than 9v. 7.2v runs elsewhere not just to the 7805s. And the current draw is 900mah full power (speakers at max, brightness full).

voltage doesn't change. The voltage is a set amount needed to oporate the board it draws Amps which sepleat over time the psone screen uses 7.2-9volts and draws(without the led mod) 750mAmps per hour so if you have a 3000mAmp battery it will power the screen for 4 hours.
