Hey all check this out... Cyber and I were talking on Friday about his guitar and he gave me a great idea. A switch that would enable you to turn on your PSP without touching it. This would allow you to disable your original PSP switch and replace it with this one... Now you can prevent your little brother or sister from turning on your PSP, or you can have both switches and amaze your friends!!!

All you would need becides the switch installed is a small magnet.. Look for the Tutorial posted here tomorrow!

And without delay

Its cool in theory, But whats to stop your little brother or sister swiping there hands over it too?
And it looks impractical, I mean how can you even use the psp if your hand has to be over where the sensor switch is that turns on/off the psp, like would it it just keep switching on and off while you try to use it?

u dont get it, u see the magnet makes a closed circut with a reed senser so u turn off/on with the magnet and then put it away and then play, viola

btw nice mod nic0

Awesome mod. Extremely simple, but very cool nonetheless for presentation purposes. I think I'll definitely give this one a go sometime.

ccccpie · « **Reply #4 on:** December 03, 2007, 08:24:24 PM »

see it is a switch turned on by a magnet...... check the first post and read it it says you need a small magnet......AND!!! also this would be wicked awesome if you could put this into a GH guitar and just use a magnet as a pick...

Grantlionheart · « **Reply #5 on:** December 03, 2007, 08:31:55 PM »

Well actually when i was typing my first post i was asking what was the point of it if your brothers sisters can get a magnet, But when i re read it before posting it i didn't see the word magnet and presumed i remembered the word from another thread then restructured my post.

Teach me to re read a post.

I've been considering this. Is it a toggle, or an on/off momentary thing?

dedafmonteur · « **Reply #14 on:** December 05, 2007, 12:23:40 AM »

Cyber's comment on psp-hacks:

it uses a magnet to turn on and off ther is a tiny glass tube inside called a reed switch. if you pass a magnet over a reed switch it actovates. so with out the magnet it won’t turn on or off.

Timmy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2007, 01:22:00 AM »

does you get the "attractive" pun now?

All reed switches work like that, you see them in basic home security system such as the ones you put on windows and doors, once the window or door opens it pulls the magnet of the switch and bam off goes the alarm.

They look something like this inside the glass tube

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The dotted lines are just simple strips of metal, the magnet pulls them together and thats how it activates.

l0rdnic0 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:08:00 AM »

I like good feedback but if you got bad feedback I kinda want that too

. Just make sure ppl that you think about what negitive comments your about to type. I have already slapped someone becasue they said Magnets and computer equipment dont mix well. Umm does a PSP have speakers? Are they sheilded, I think not. Becides that let em fly

Me.

LOL yeah I thought that was funny with out magnet we would not have PC's IE magnetic heads on hard drives motors in CD roms and floppy drives.

lol ight, well heres wat i think.

its a very cool mod idea. However due to my current situation [no annoying siblings at home] i wouldnt install it on my psp.

However, i would put it in one of my other psps just becuase of the coolness factor. But other than that, carrying around a magnet? the best idea i can think of is just connecting it to the place where ur wriststrap goes, becuase no one will automatically think touse a magnet to turnon ur psp. So actually, i very well might install it

LOL yeah some people just don't think. Also most people beleive intelegence is based on how well you can spell when in fact it is how well you can problem solve that is why there are more then one IQ test for Mensa. Most intelegent people can articulate very well but have trouble spelling.

TR4G- · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:20:33 AM »

the following is in response to cybers comment about the switch:

"if u cant even spell activate right, i doubt u can really give an answer like that.

Oh yeah, Magnets and Computer Components go together really well………you twat."

^^^lmao.......some 13year old is dissing you cyber....even tho u created this amazing site and everything there is. but since u cant spell u must be dumb.... [/end sarcasm]

lewson · « **Reply #24 on:** December 05, 2007, 11:23:03 AM »

I wouldn't use a strong magnet, but id put a magnet in a pen...

I'll be using this for my Torque PSP. The magnet will be set into my key, I can't turn my PSP on without my keys.

Hey I don't think you need to be that extreme. In the tut it tells you what parts you need. BTW the tut is done just waiting for someone to review. Trust me I can't wait to show everyone...

To wire this into the psp do you not just solder the reed switch like this:

cut the trace as shown:

and the solder one length of kynar into the part around the small hole (after where you have cut the trace)

and one length of kynar into the red circled part

then wire into reed switch and use magnet to activate

or am i totally wrong and u dont even need to cut the trace... or am i even more wrong than that?

Looks right to me, but then again I have no idea. Still waiting on the tut

I did however, run out and buy a tiny reed switch. I was thinking of multimeter testing the switch to see what points close when the switch is activated. Then I was going to solder the reed switch to those points. I want to keep my original switch intact just incase I don't have a magnet handy!

Sorry but here comes the FLAM!!!

Really? Have you any idea what a reed switch is? I suggest you Google it, or better yet READ this thread and figure out how its done before you come here an post a comment like that and truly show your NOOBNESS to everyone.
