Ms. Pack-Man Handheld
Hello all, Was at the ol' Futureshop in my area, and they had these guys on for $4.97: http://www.jakkstvgames.com/mspacman.html I swear this little thing works quite nicely. Anywho, opened it up and found two chips on the board. I'll post photos as I get them, but to the best of your knowledge, are...

If any people are into bigger screens, you can now get digital photo frames for a lot cheaper (under a hundred for a 7" screen). I note this because many of them are even offering RCA video inputs. I haven't cracked one open myself to see the circuitry, although it would be easy I'm sure to mess wit...

Alright so now the interesting stuff. VGH is giving me ~17V VGL is giving me ~-18V VCC is standard 5V 12V reading is accurate SW (TBD) is appearing as ground A+ and A- I haven't played with yet. So yes I could feed a 12V signal into the 12V slot, and use a 7805 to give the VCC, however I'm curious a...

Pictures would help. Usually it says something like 100uf on it. Just replace it with a cap with the same values. Part numbers aren't that important in this case. . I smack you cause he may have it wrong lol. The capacitor is blown if the top looks "swollen". There are indents on there. If you hear...

I'm afraid all of that is a bit more advanced than what most of us are familiar with. Perhaps you could teach us a thing or two about the inner workings of the SNES? Haha I would but frankly, this is the first time I've opened one. I mean, I can tell ya this much: System has an APU which may be onb...

Things to screw with on the SNES / Technical Stuff
Please forward me to the proper area if this question does not suit the section. I have a fisrt generation SNES (separate APU unit :D) that works perfectly fine. My case was screwed on it, leaving me with the board and everything else in tact. Number one, I know these units are too bulky to justify ...

Im wondering though, if the digital signal that the PSP screen takes is just a direct A-D conversion of normal analog RBG? I really know nothing about the topic though. if It really is though, then perhaps all you need is an ACD IC from digikey. for example, look up digi-key part# ADC08351CILQCT-ND...

Well when you overload an LED, it starts to burn. I think you're in the buffer region between completely fried and functioning. It is possible once the material cooled down it might get brighter. However, in all honesty, the LEDs are gone. Cheaper to go buy new ones (allelectronics.com sells them fo...

Perhaps a promising, dirt cheap new screen?
A few years back I was down at the local Value Village, and saw this old Durabrand portable DVD player for like $15. I knew it didn't work properly, but when I plugged it in, all the power was flowing. Now I cracked her open, and looked at the board to see that a few capacitors are blown (like 220nF...

Take reference to this image: http://www.shopeio.com/inventory/images/LQ6RA311.gif The issue is that you will be able to hook it up, however the unit is in fact quite bulky. Great for projects, but very bulky and not exactly practical for a portable. But there is very little info out there, not even...

In response to cutting down the size of the board, it just ain't worth it. It could be done but is very risky and tedious. As for power, I forgot the power specs of both the devices, but once again may be tedious and awkward. As for the video... frankly good luck on that one. It would involve interl...

@Electric Rain Well you said yours says just 100 but it is polarized? That just ain't adding up lol. You are right in saying it is polarized. However, what confuses me is that 100 rating, though on any polarized capacitor it is always greater than 1uF, therefore it most likely is 100uF. Don't quote ...

Best Batteries for Modding Projects?
I know there are quite a few out there, but what are your favorites? I actually used one of these guys for anything on the go, might integrate one into one of my projects: http://www.preparedwithpower.com/portable/ I actually use an older model which allows me to disconnect the inverter. But for the...
