You should've checked the capacitors connected to the small component and the big chip to see if any of those were shorted.

Thanks for the suggestion, there's probably a lot of stuff I could have/should have checked. I didn't have much time with these so tried to clue in based on heat signature alone which unfortunately didn't get me there.

If thos components are transistors u can test yhem with multi meter first for shorts. Bummer both had the same problem as u cant swap motherboards. Im currently trying to bga reball the nec chip on my psp2000. Its very difficult but learning i guess. Great video

Im having the exact same issue with my psp3000 board. I think that big chip might be power management, which i believe is the DA9052 ic chip.

Very insightful, thank you for the video! I have a PSP which works fine but doesn't charge via charging port. It charges via USB but as you probably know, USB charge in PSP works only if the device is on. So, if the battery dies fully, I am unable to charge it via USB as the device is off. Then I need to charge the battery externally. I have replaced the charging port with a new one, it didn't help. I know the charger works as I tested it with another PSP. What do you think the problem might be? Thank you in advance!

I actually didn't know that about USB charging so thanks for sharing! Admittedly I never had a PSP growing up and never spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with them (yet). I wish I would have tested USB charging on these with a known good battery, based on your note it's possible yours had the same indeterminant problem as these. Sorry I can't give better insight!

Hey! I bought a custom psp 3006 (cell phone battery instead of the original one and transparent body) but the seller told me that the psp wouldn't turn on because it didn't have the flat cable for the buttons so the power switch couldn't work. I bought the missing cables and installed them but the psp still doesn't turn on, it only turns on an orange light when I connect the charger. I thought the problem could be the power button board so I bought a new one but the psp still won't turn on. When I installed the flats I didn't remove the battery because it was soldered because of the customization, did a fuse blow or is it another problem? Please someone help me, I was very excited about this psp and now I'm so disappointed

@FantasticQuack

Жыл бұрын

If you get the charging light I think it's probably a blown fuse. You can start by shorting it like I tried and if that works then awesome news and I'd then recommend replacing the fuse instead of just leaving it shorted.

Lol 11 seconds in i realize i thought the port at the top of the PSP was the charger this whole time 🤦🏻‍♂️ THANK YOU

You can check if it's a fuse issue just by bridging over it. If it seems to work after that you can buy a new fuse as I wouldn't recommend keeping it as a dead short.

Hello I have a psp 2000 and i don't have a battery but i bought a portable battery and it worked well i even played my games with that method but one day i tried to turn it on but it didn't i watched multiple tutorials that led me to nothing but when I use my faulty battery and charge it there is an orange light but it still doesn't turn on 😢 any advice please????

Ola irmão, tenho um psp 3001 compre uma bateria recentemente do Aliexpress não original mas que funcionava, fiquei então jogando com a minha nova bateria por uma semana, mas um dia fui usar ele depois de uma semana parado ele não ligou mais, quando coloco para charge/carregar acende apenas uma luz laranja e quendo tento liga lo ele pisca a luz ver uma vez e nada acontece, antes dessa nova bateria eu usava pelo carregador e não tive problemas.

hmm why not trying spray some electrical contact cleaner? might as well try it. Also do you know if PSP 3000 and PSP Street has the same UMD drive? and are they interchangeable?

Sadly no, I kind of gave up on this one. My best guess is that main chip had an internal short which is irreparable and requires replacement. So at that point you'd need a whole new main board with the chip already on it in working order (since you can't just go online and buy that chip).

Basically, I was able to confirm that the issue was indeed a board issue (though my issue sounds a bit different - there wasn't even the orange charging light), because the PSP would turn on with the new board. Unfortunately the issue with this new board was that there was a loose connection somewhere on it's right side that would cause the power on that side to fail, and so the buttons would stop working lol. Still, at least I was able to figure out it was a board issue!

Wouldn't turn on with the battery removed and hooked up to the charger. It ended up being a finicky power switch basically if you just pushed up normally it wouldn't turn the system on but if you pushed in on the power switch and slowly pushed up on the power switch it would work.

I have PSP 1000 thousand with analogue problem and it was due to the face plate's middle screw holder breaking. So I gave it to fix it. The people who fixed it actually changed the whole housing case with a cheap one and it still was shit. So told them to assemble it back to the old one, they did but now its far worse, the bottom buttons bar is not working, the R is also not working and the transparent rubber of analogue stick is broken. The UMD Drive is also not working. They destroyed the PSP. Amateur repair men messed it.
