New Pics From Mweston

[relapse808]

I am glad I am going to CES next week so I can forget about my pandora for a few days. Hopefully when I get back we will have the green light on the cases.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

I need a new update fix.Cold turkey.Cases pictures look fine.But let me have a pandora in jan or feburary at least

 

[Etinin]

I would prefer receiving it without silkscreen if that would mean I'd get it earlier.

i need an update fix 2.

cant wait , i think this time we will get the green

 

[Dead1nside]

I don't think we'll get the green light until we receive those cases that were sent on Fri 1st, at least. I'm still concerned about those dimples that I assume are cooling inconsistencies that can be seen on the pic of the silk-screening.

Then again it could be gone in an MP run, it's hard to know what's solvable just by doing the final run and what is not -- that is the tough job MWeston's got.

worst case scenario everyone will have to disassemble the panda and get it nicely painted.

ill choose oldie Gray (snes/psx)color.

I have itsy-bitsy small request. Can we print the amperage requirements along with the voltage and polarity of what the unit requires on the back? A 'just in case' thing if one of us ever needs to buy a power supply on a whim.

 

[calc84maniac]

Are you able to put the CE logo on it now, or does that require the certification process?

...I guess our previous silk screening poll meant nothing because some of those labels are just sooo wrong, ah well time to whip out the WD-40 and some Q-tips.

I agree, the silkscreen looks like crap...Ditch it!

 

[jlepley]

I think that the word "hold" should be changed to a picture of a lock, and some of the longer labels should be condensed. Eh, but that's just my 2 cents.

Are you serious? Why would we need that when we know that we just need a PSP charger?

This is actually a very good idea! Rated capacity and max/min voltages just like many other devices on the market?
Although, it may just be stamped into the wall socket?

NO, BECAUSE AMPERAGE DOES NOT EXIST.

But, maybe they could print the current requirement if the silkscreen can still be changed. Although I think it could run with any 5V supply, and it would just charge the battery as fast as the supply would allow (up to the maximum charging current). For example, if you connect it to USB, which has a maximum current of 500mA, it probably detects that at 520mA, the voltage drops, so it won't take any more current than that. If you plug it into a standard 5V 2A wall adapter, it will take 2A. If you plug it into a giant 5V lead acid battery, It will take as much current as it wants, to charge the battery at its maximum rated charge current.

I know nothing about how the Pandora actually does it, but this is how my Pocket PC does it. Someone please confirm/correct me.

ORLY?

So ... Rekcitok ... what's the problem?

I'm beginning to think MWeston should fly to china, go to the factory and have them make stuff on site.

 

[VRAndy]

Bah. God Ginrai beat me too it.

I can't wait until Rekcitok comes back to tell us that "Real profesionals" don't ever use the term "amperage". That'll help pass the time until Pandora arrives.

(Incidentally, my favorite silly claim of this sort is "Professionals never say 'airplane' they say 'aircraft'!", which is also completely false.)

He will need a whip for cracking, and a bullhorn for speaking very loudly at people who do not speak English.

No, he needs Chuck Norris
