Finally getting started on my psone

Psy · Post by **Psy** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 7:33 am

Just need a little help as my brain seems to have died!

I'm looking at the back of the motherboard and there are three points where the power socket is soldered in. As I can't find a psone board diagram and can't be bothered to de-solder the power input, could someone tell me which point is which? Or even if you know where I can find a psone mb diagram? Thanks

I had this same problem when hooking my PSOne up to use batteries. The center prong is the positive power, either of the two side ones are negitive.

Or; negitive O O negitive
positive O

Thanks mate, seriously though, I can use either of the other two for negative?

yes, both connect to the ground so it doesnt matter Just be sure to hot glue the connections so that they dont come loose.

When u say "hot glue", do you mean put hot glue on the connection after you soldered? Thanks.
