for that idea, have you thought of a magnet, i mean one that is sorta a U shape, to hold it together, you know, put a small magnet like that where the + and - are both on top of the U so it doesnt stuff up the PS1, and put a bit of metal on the door where you want to open and close the door. or make it stick...jjhammerstein wrote: I was thinking about a springy hinge, the kind that forces itself shut.
but its jut an idea, and im thinking if you do this, and the door is closed for too long, it could build up too much power, and you wont be able to open the door without pulling it apart/breaking it...
but i thikn if you get any other magnet other than 1 that is a U or a fridge magnet ( i dont think fridge magnets will be powerful enough, they barely stick on the fridge with a few bits of paper under them... ) then it might stuff up the circuitry or wires.....
