Can I cut this off my PSone screen?

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.

Can I cut this off my PSone screen?

Post by marbs »

I've looked around and I think I'm correct, but I'd just like to check for certain because I don't want to risk breaking my PSone screen...can I cut this chunk off the PSone screen motherboard?

As you can see I already cut a bit off and got rid of the transformer thing. Thanks in advance!

yes. you just have to do the led mod if you haven't already. just make sure you aren't cutting through any important traces.

What exactly is that area for? On my LCD it has a thing with copper wire around it.

He removed that part and the others associated with the backlight, that is why it looks different (don't worry, it took me a second to recognize it, too).

Great, thanks everyone! Good to know I can chop it off, it would be hard to make it fit in my case otherwise. Great picture Life of Brian :P
