PSOne Replacement Power Cable

[+KeeperofLindblum]

I recently acquired a PSOne for pretty cheap (Goodwill auction). It has a few scuffs but looks fine. Came with a controller too, but the analog sticks on it are... most definitely not good.

ANYWAYS! The PSOne didn't come with a power cable, but I found I randomly had an old PSP power cable. It's the same adapter piece, but the voltage is a bit different... It's only 5V, and everywhere I look says 7.5V.

I went ahead and tried it anyways though. It will power it on, but I don't get video. I'm assuming this is because it isn't enough voltage, but I want to make sure it's worth the effort...

Is powering it on with the low voltage:

 

1. Safe for the PSOne? (Or did I already bork it? -_-)

2. The fact it comes on a good sign for me to invest in a power cable?

3. The amperage looks to be enough (1500 mA), but the voltage is the issue?

that psp cable is not high enough voltage for the psone. you need to get the correct cable. you probably didnt break anything.

Thanks for the answer sir! I figured I would have to, but I thought it might be worth asking since I couldn't find an answer elsewhere.
Worst part of all this is... I think I actually had the right power cable at one point, but I tossed it some time ago because I wasn't sure what it belonged to.

I also now have a PSP charging cable that I have ZERO use for. lol

A slim PS2 PSU will also work with the PSOne.

Really, that is good to know. I will have to test this information
