New PS2

[Dangermouse]

hey all!, is the new playstation 2 (thinner smaller model) the same as the "PS one" meaning it runs on a DC power input?

If so than it should be easier to run in a car yeh?

the new one runs on 8.5 volts and also uses a ac to dc converter pack.

It also does not have a fan built into it (at least I cant hear one on mine)

These horrible pieces of crap are blowing up large-time all over the world. It is just like the V10 SCPH-50002 model that fed an extra 1V to the Laser Control Unit and Laser burning them out within months.

i have one, goin in my glovey, u need a power invertor to run it in the car the audio guy told me, but compared to the ps1 i really dont know never had it

i thought it sounded like it had a fan but hey i can be wrong so i cant back that up...

um why not just use a simple DC-DC power converter with a voltage rectifier (or put a properly rated cap). An inverter takes a perfectly good DC signal, converts it to a square wave AC, then the power supply in your PS2 converts the AC signal back to a 3V or 5V DC signal.
