Panasonic Q not powering...Help?

I didnt!

What I'll do is I'll make another photo but a clearer one where you can see all the traces much better instead of photoshopping the current one I took. Is that cool with you?

 

Try to get a good clear image with good lighting especially around the corner that broke (be sure to have the corner in place when taking the picture).

 

Hi Helder!

Sorry for this taking long but I sometimes just find it a mission to drag the whole dissembled console and camera for just one snapshot, but I managed to do it and tried to make it as clear as possible!

Please let me know if this helps now.

Thanks again!

 

Just match the colors with wires from one point to other.

 

Fantastic!

You know, seeing these again just made me realise how much better my new photos are

So do I just solder a wire from one solder-point to another directly then?

Also, abit off-topic, do you know if there is any way to make this work for UK users i.e, 240v? thus not needing to use a step-down transformer.

 

I guess you can use almost any power supply as long as the power that this broken supply outputs like 12v,5v,3v etc go to the correct places for the rest of the boards in the Q. Something like what people did with the Dreamcast's PSU by swapping it with a Buck Converter that is powered by a wall wart aka a laptop power supply. I'm sure someone will chime in with better info than myself on this topic.

 

Oh okay then fair enough, I might make a separate post for that then, Ijust want to know if anything could've been done like changing the transformer on the PSU board so I can directly plug an AC cord without the need of a step-down transformer/adapter.

So do I just solder a wire from one solder-point to another directly then? I found some old reel of wire in my rusty garden shed and it's 20AWG, will this do perhaps?

 

Any wire will do really and just connect the same color dots with a wire and it should be all set.
