Yes, it's very common in portable PS2s
That big square tact switch with black rims on the bottom left is just a normal square head push button tact, it's designed to have a coloured head stuck on it. 4 way tact switches have 2 sides with 3 pins each, that one has only two pins on the exposed side.
Odds are that it wasn't for the controller. Most people put in buttons to control their screen or sound.Based on your comments, i did google it. I think it's a 4 way tact switch, yet I still don't understand it's purpose since we already have triangle, square, circle, x and d-pad
It could also be for turbo/macro functions on a 3rd party controller.Odds are that it wasn't for the controller. Most people put in buttons to control their screen or sound.
Nice to see another Filipino on the portablizing scene. Always wanted to make one with the ps2 (lahat naman kc ng classics nandito eh), but switched to the gamecube when i knew it was better documented. Nevertheless, i am very excited to see your progress with your portable fam! Keep going!
First means it takes 12v to power (give or take a little)What is the difference if it says
Power Supply: 12V DC
&
Power Supply: DC 6v - 36v
I'm a bit confused if this screen will work for my portable.

dude are you sure that will work on portables?Personally, I wouldn't use a PS1 screen. They used to be super common and really good for portables, but now they're ~ $80 bucks on eBay. I personally used this screen, and I like it because of the quality and the fact that it can run off of any voltage between 5 and 12.
so does this mean that you're suggesting me not to buy this screen?First means it takes 12v to power (give or take a little)
Second means you can power it with as little as 6v and at most 36v
That screen might work if you have at least 12v coming out of the battery pack but I'm pretty sure I've only seen you mention 7.4v total which won't be enough.
what screen would you recommend me then? does all tft lcd screen says that its power supply is dc12v?Dude, use the edit button. Double and triple posting is not cool.
Some screens, although it says 12v, can run off many different voltage levels. It is just a matter of testing what different voltages a screen can run off of.
