Knight Rider PS2 Portable - Tools and Vision

You won't be able to just sand and paint the Abs cement. When it dries it leaves pinholes where the acetone evaporates. You will need to sand the Abs cement a little low, then spot putty or plastic filler very lightly over the top. Then it is sand , paint, sand, paint, etc.

great work!!!!!

LMAO!! you aint lying....but i still know EXACTLY where i am going to get stumped at....that ribbon is waaay to short for the laser...and i still havent figured out how to extend it. (Also i am still looking for a good Knight Rider Light that is available).

Just get me a picture of the end of the ribbon cable next to a mm ruler and I will get you the extension cable information.

FFC plugs. Once he knows the pin arrangement and spacing he can get plugs and a cable and use his standard put-both-ribbons-into-one-connector=connected to make an extension virtually.

Here's what you need. From http://www.digikey.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

For the small brown ribbon cable :
WM10219-ND -- 6" 24 pin .5mm ffc extension
609-1875-1-ND -- 24 pin .5mm ffc zif connector

For the white ribbon cable :
HF12U-06-ND -- 6" 12 pin 1.0mm ffc extension
WM5304-ND -- 12 pin 1.0mm ffc zif connector

That should do you just fine. Gonna cost around $20 shipped.

Just follow my Gamecube or Ps1 extension guide when you get the extensions and go to put them together

whats wrong with the ones you have to make?? they sound like fun to me, and besides, ur portablizing a ps2, whats wrong with cobbling together a few parts here and there?? it would probably be cheaper than buying one premade...

[hailrazer]

Just got in the Digikey extension parts and they work absolutely perfect.

Nice.

aww man...i got mine in yesterday and i havent got the chance to put it in...good to know it works though.

*Note: do not get any cats....they are evil....

I second that! Sometimes they are sweet, but if you are like me and get unlucky.....you have to deal with little devils running around trying to kill your portable.
