Well I started off with my first project a portable ps2.

So far I have cut down the size my ps2 half it's normal size.

Now I just recived my psone lcd and remote and I have not the slightest clue where to begin!

I want to start with the screen.

Can some one help me out please?

I need to know:

Where to hook up the ps2 lcd to the the ps2 motherboard.

What should I expect during this process.

What supplys will I need
---------------------------------------------

And please no suggestions to start on a smaller project I feel with a little help(from you guys) and my sodering skills I can pull this off.

Is it a ps2 slim or regular? You should read about Ben's ps2p.

I have the original ps2, and a psone lcd.

Also what makes the disc spin on the ps2?

I believe there is a switch that gets pushed when you close the drive tray.

Which ps2 version do you have? I know on a v4 it's controlled by 2 switches.

Can you be more specific I know of several switches. Is it one of thoese that are color cordinated and have green bases?

Also do I need the motor that brings the tray in and out?

Can I have the disc spin with out the tray motor?

IIRC there are a yellow, a green, and a white switch. You can strip the tray assembly and only keep the laser/snake motor assembly.

It's model scph-30001 R

So it's either going to be the green or yellow switch or even both perhaps?

Ahh...I'm hope the snake motor isn't the one that is conneted by the red/pink plug in. If so I dissasembled that part aswell.

Also, thanks for all the help and quick responses I really apreciate it.

I still cant find it.

Either that or the switch is broken...
