LED mod is blinking.

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.

LED mod is blinking.

Post by Mikeyman64 »

Hey guys, long time no post!

I picked up my ClearSnes today, and noticed that the lower right LED in my PSOne screen is blinking/pulsing really fast. It happens with both the power adapter and the battery.

Any ideas a to what I should check out?

Sounds like the LED is being over driven. Are you using the normal LED mod like in Ben's Book? If so replace the 10ohm resistor with a 20ohm one.

Yeah, I used his method.

I'll try replacing the resistor, but I don't really see why it would have all of a sudden started pulsing a year after I finished the project. :|

wearing out the LED. I would replace that led as well while you are in there.
