I find soldering SMD easy, I normally make a good solder connection first go but I sat their for 4 hours every day for 3 months practicing. That was an ordeal.... but it turned out for the best.

solder them are easy for me to its just getting no shorts is the trick, my problem was is that i used magnet wire and some of the enemal wore off on like five spots and i keep getting shorts so i had to replace it all with kynar wire

lol welcome to modding kiddies lol
but what i have learneds is to use krazy glue on my solder points (not where i solder them to to get power becuase unsoldering them is such a pain in mya ss its not funny)
but yea as u add stuff back into ur psp, i.e. motherboard powerboard check the leds periodicaly and when it shorts u knwo whats doing what so u have a better idea what to look for that could be shorting it. i learned to put electrical tape on the back of my lcd cage where wires might touch lol
