7808 overheating

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.

7808 overheating

Post by Turbo Tax 1.0 »

is there a way i can reduce the load on my 7808
i was thinking i could wire two 7808 regulators together but would i run them in a parrelel or series

i have already tried a bigger heatsink and placing it near a fan
EDIT: i think i fixed it by wiring two in a parralel
