I just finished my metallic blue PSP 1000. I put two LEDs in each trigger (blue), and swapped all my LEDs (blue too). I also did the USB charge. However, my PSP won't boot. I get no sound, Memory Stick indicator; the screen wont light up either...But my charge LEDs light up when it's charging (both AC charger AND USB cable). Also, my HOLD trigger LEDs work flawlessly. I made sure everything was clean, and nicely done. My PSP buttons all feel nice, everything fits; nothings' feeling wrong. I have tried multiple batteries too. One of which, was my Pandora Battery. The POWER LED light up (like it should).
Now, when I first began this PSP, I wired my HOLD LEDs' POSITIVE wires to the 5V spot on the motherboard (above the speakers). I decided against this, and re-soldered the positive wires to the traditional 3.6V POWERBOARD spot...However, I "smeared" solder on that pad below the 5V spot (is it copper?) but still, I MADE SURE the solder stayed on that pad, and that it was NOT touching anything. I tried removing the solder, but it's almost as if the
transformed into diamonds; I couldn't desolder it for the life of me.
If you read this far, thanks. I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks, - Chris
