PSone screen woes

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.

It's gotta be number 3. I don't see how it would be anything else :P :lol:

Mine stopped working one time, but I just jumped the fuses. Now I just have to be careful.

If its a fuse why dont you repace it, or is it a specialty fuse or something. Im sure wrecking a 2 cent fuse is better than wrecking a $100 screen.
