Step 18Taking apart the Screen
What you need:
Small flathead screwdriver
Small phillips screwdriver
READ THIS PLEASE!! The PS1 screen takes a max of 9v, and that's still pushing it a little. If your batteries are more than 9v, DO NOT hook up the screen. You will fry it! Please complete the next step and then come back to this one.
With the NES finally done, it's time to start work on the screen, beginning with disassembling it.
TAKING THE CASE APART
There are 9 screws you need to take out. Unscrew the three visible ones on the bottom.
There are two rubber plugs at the top of the screen. Pry those up and remove the screws beneath them.
Lift up the speaker covers and take out the four screws hiding underneath.
Flip the screen over and take off the back cover. You can test the screen now if you wish. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE TRANSFORMER AT THE TOP! It's the little white rectangle with copper wire wrapped around it. A very high voltage comes out of it, so be careful not to touch anything in that top section. You'll be fine when the screen isn't plugged in, though.
TAKING OUT THE SCREEN
There are 4 screws sort of in the "corners" of the board. Unscrew those.
Snap the speakers out, and gently flip the screen over onto your hand; set it down.
You can test it again now if you want. Make sure the metal around the screen is touching the contacts underneath the tabs.

Awesome project! My screen only shows green now, I doubt you would know, but if you ran into the same problem I would appreciate some help.

Did you test the screen before you took it apart? And are you using the NES, or a different game system?

Yes, it worked fine before, I'm guessing I messed something up when I was taking it apart, but I dont know. I'm working on making a ps2 portable. Thanks

Are you trying to use RGB, or just composite?

well actually the screen just plugs into the ps2, from what I can tell the psx and ps2 use the same av port. Is that what you mean?

Sort of. So when you plug the screen in to the PS2 using the original connectors? Well, if everything is plugged in tightly, then the screen must be dead.
