Fuse problems.

Well it’s not a perfect world we live in. The fuse he sells is not a direct replacement if that’s what you where expecting. But it does have the values close to the original fuse and its so damn close to the same size as the original that all I have had to do was scrape a little of the enamel off next to the original solder pads for the original and it fit perfect.

Also the ribbon cable comes from Sony with the fold in it as that’s how it fits under the top of the case lid, so don’t blame that on Tomek as its suppose to be that way.

Actually he doesn't sell Sony cables, he makes just buys bulk ribbon cable and makes them from what it looks like. It was creased because of the corner of his hand-written envelope.

Anyway, I forgot my camera again so I'll just upload the crap webcam version.

Hmmm thats interesting, anyway the way you jumppered to the fuse is just fine and maybe even easier then my suggestion.

Great job Frito.

Finally a pic. Looks good. I would consider taping it down though with electrical tape.

Tyler!

This would be a good idea to secure it some how just incase you go verticle with it. You dont want it flappin' around in there. Nice work Frito.

Good thinking Frito. I still haven't ordered the fuse yet. I've been busy at college and I'm broke now. I'm thinking of getting it at www.richspsxparts.com . I'll order it as soon as the Matrix Infinity I ordered at consolesource is delivered.

I used some solid 30 guage wire so it's not going to be flapping anywhere anytime soon, it's pretty darn solid actually.

As for ordering.. Next time I'm getting them from here

You get a pack of 5 for 8 bucks as opposed to 1 for 5 bucks. And since they're so damn small, extras definately don't hurt. :P
