Ps1 Screen Fried?

Nope they're not polarized, the only way to protect against that in the future is to solder on a diode.

when i was younger, during a road trip i took my dads multi tip power adapter for his laptop, found one that fit in the ps1 screen power port, and it stopped working after that, but the psone still works, if i do thid fix on the jumpers, will it work, as i know not to do that again...?

could i use tinfoil?
hehe

yeah, problems with to much voltage/wattage can most likely be fixed by jumping the fuse

sry bout double post, but i just bypassed the piece labled "PS1" and it still dosent work, it displays abarely minimally slightly ligher black vertical bar and thats all (as it did before).. any ideas?

Did it have the same voltage or did it just fit? I think you might have killed it, because laptop cords are definitely higher than 7v. They also wouldn't have the porlarity the same as a PSone. + ----o)---- -
Try bypassing the fuse, and if it doesn't work it is surely dead.

I've always heard that word bypassed, exactly how do you bypass a fuse, I don't get it.

connect both ends of it: put a blob of solder on it to cennect them or solder a wire to each end
