Quite a useful piece of kit you will agree. With some effort this device can be made to
work with a VGA output from a graphics card. Forget alphanumeric displays now you
can replicate your main monitor or give your Winamp its own screen, or just run exotic
visualisations on a screen built into your computer case. The possibilities are almost
endless.
Now illustrious bit-techer bEE2643 is about to show you how it is done. Over to you
bEE2643...
OK, to start, here are a list of the tools you'll need: PSONE LCD (I used an NTSC one,
you people in the UK may get PAL ones if ordered locally) Soldering iron & solder,
patience, and about 4 hours of your precious time (not including how long it takes for
you to read this) Flat head jewellers screw driver Philips jewellers screw driver
My PSONE LCD arrived it its retail packaging, including the unit itself, a bunch of
warranty certification (voided 20 minutes later), and the power adapter (don't throw it
out, you'll need it for the way this mod done is done.)

Meet the PSONE LCD, you have 2 options to wire this LCD, through composite (RCA)
which is a significant drop in quality from the second choice, VGA, which is the
method of choice for this article.
Firstly, remove the three screws and the plate on the bottom front of the unit. If you
want to keep the casing in good condition then refer to the red highlighted areas in the
graphic below to see where to insert your flat head screw driver to pry open the casing
without damaging it.
NOTE: bend the casing to the position shown below as it will aid in opening the device.
There are another two screws hidden underneath rubber bumpers on the face of the LCD
at the top (not shown)

This is where things get a bit tricky, you have 2 options here because the speaker
connectors are glued in place into the circuit, and trying to remove it will either damage
the controller or rip the wires out, so you can either cut the wires or manoeuvre the
casing so you can unscrew the bottom half to get it out of the way.
Keep the circuit from the lower half, disconnect it from the psone for the time being,
you will need it later on. Now there are five screws which need to be removed to take
the controller off, one on each corner and the middle of the bottom, don't forget to
remove the ribbon cable from the connector (only one on the circuit) by pulling up on
the little brown retainer (careful, it's fragile!), as well as the connector at the top for the
CCFL light, then remove the controller.
Now you can take the bare LCD and mount it in the deired position. I mounted mine in
the three 3.5" drive bays that are on the front of my Lian-Li PC6070 with double edged

at the moment >_<.
