Don't worry too much about the full 5A output for your PI, the reason its spec'd that high is to have overhead for peripherals. just the pi running on its own shouldnt draw much more than 10W at a time. (5V2A) Make sure to double check how much power the rest of your peripherals are using...

if it has enamel it should be fine to use on a portable for signal wires.

For a PS2, you'll likely have to design your own. As far as I know there are no comprehensive open source PS2 portables with resources. (unless someone else knows about one and can step in and pleasantly surprise me) Since this is the case it would probably be much easier for you to design your...

I can't wait to see where this goes!! This project is definitely gonna turn out great. Are you planning on sharing your designs for the screen driver with the shinobi scaler integrated? Because that sounds like it would be really awesome to have in a portable Also, I may be wrong here but...

Do we have board scans for the super slim? I'd love to try my hand and make some if they would help

This is almost definitely a board level issue. If it were any other machine I would say it sounds like thermal issues but I know for a fact that ps2s do not heat up that quickly and are normally fine running fairly hot. This is very unlikely to be an issue with the optical drive assembly as...

Pi 5's don't actually consume the full 5a the whole time. Power supplies generally include a fair bit of overhead in terms of their current supply. Just doing some brief googling, the pi 5 uses up to 7 watts under high stress and around 2.4 watts at idle. The overhead from the power supply is...

Awesome build!! I love the FFC you used to bridge the 2 halves, I think that makes things very clean, and I may borrow that idea for future portables lol.

Maybe it’s a trick of the light, but is there a hole blown into this IC? Also, I would absolutely advise you not to try to turn it on again until you have the short on your voltage lines resolved. If it’s not this OC, try sanding the ended of your board again. The edges of your board near the...

There's quite a few factors at play here. Did you wire this all up for the first time without testing each individual piece? Does your PMS output the correct voltages? does your screen accept video in from a known good source? Did you do a resistance table on all the voltage rails after your...

Pictures would be helpful. Have you checked for shorts? Or rather gone through a full resistance table? That would be a good place to start.

All things considered, its not really worth it to do anything with 77000 model machines. What I would recommend you do is replace all the disk drives, and turn them over for a profit. you can find 79k ps2s on eBay for less than $40 shipped, and if you flip 4 fully tested and working 77k's you...

Are you in the bitbuilt discord? This question might be a bit better suited for over there. Also, try not to hijack threads, this thread was created for JCasper's issue

Yes, please try to salvage this! If you're trying to build a portable then soldering something that small is something you'll have to do anyways. If not, save it for another day when you're more comfortable with it. Also, be gentle with your hardware!!! You had to have pulled on that pretty...

Generally, when the device meant to output voltages is not outputting voltages, one could say the device is not working as intended. <3 My PMS knowledge is slightly dated, but do you not need to press the power button on the PMS before it engages the regulators? Do you have an RGB LED...

Truly outstanding!!! I'm curious, do you have plans to share any of these designs? This project is amazing, and I can't wait to see it finished!

Commercial product? Injection molded??? All so exciting! The project looks gorgeous and I cant wait to see it for sale!!!

Solidworks also has a hobbyist license for $50/year. Either will work, Solidworks is generally used more often in professional settings.

looks great!! As for your HDMI short, if you know which pins are causing the issue you could just lift them, no? My next step would be to trace it all out with a multimeter. I'd also try a different HDMI cable just for posterity

Those angles are Crisp! Nice trim!
