I was going to show my friends my progress on my PSoneP but the battery was coming undone, so I rewired it in a more (perhaps bad) way, and then I plugged it back in and up went the smokes of faliure. I was like "Crap..." and i really have no explanation, although a few questions. like...

1. Did it fry my screen also? its a psone screen

and how come just changing how the battery was connected fried it. I have pictures...btw, these were taped up with electrical tape

Before (it came undone from this...)

then I changed it to this thinking it would be more secure...(also taped well)

and low and behold, my playstation crapped itself...Im not too upset because it was the cheapest part so far but still, BLARG!! feed back would be appreciated, thanks.

Looks fine to me, I honostly don't know what happened! Try seeing if you melted the plastic shield, and that wire is touching the outer wire.

If you have the + on the battery hooked up to the red wire, I think you have it wired backwards. On my psone the tip is positive, which would be the insulated white wire.

Yeah if you did that then you either fried your battery and/or the PSone fuses. You can jump the fuses on the PSone and it should still work. The screen has a fuse too. But be warned, this is your last chance once you jump them. If you connect the battery wrong again, it will permanently kill it.

no Im pretty sure red is positive and black is negative and I know the about the connector for sure. I will try jumping. Will the fuse look damaged of normal? AND the plastic shield looks fine too, I was baffled.

EDIT: CRAP IT WAS backwards (+ and -) you are right!! darnit and I did have red to the positve the first time. Man I am an idiot really. I didnt even notice in the picture until I went back and looked, is it still possible to repair it or do I have to buy another? now I am angry at myself. which brings me back to my rule of thumb, check twice wire once.... I hate logic!11

Now, what about my screen? is that doomed too? if so, I quit.

P.S. I hate myself

Well, try jumping the fuses now that you know you've got it right. If that works, solder the connections together, just hold them together with a helping hand or something and melt solder onto them.

welp, I tried jumping fuses and assuming I did it correctly it didnt work but I managed to find what got fried, its next to the fuse and its tiny, but I zoomed in on it and got a nice shot

the green arrow is what got fried I think, and the red arrow, is to where I tried to jump the fuses, I dont know if thats the fuse (Im pretty sure) and I dont know whether I did it right, by just using a wire to connect the left metal piece to the right. but what ever

Good to know it works. Good luck on the PSone!

So is the + supposed to go on the insulated wire? I need to know before I make a battery pack. Sorry this thread is kind of old
