USB Charge Mod w/video and pictures

[rceckspurt13]

Well, I just completedthe USB charge mod. I used the tutorial in that section of this site. It works great now. But this is the second time I did it. The first time I did it, somthing was shorting it out and I'm not quite sure what. I have an idea though. There was a gold spring thing that contacts with the LCD cage . My wire was routed right next to it. When j put the LCD cage on they touched. I think this was causing the short. Does anyone know.

Also I did this mod without using solder of any kind. All I used was the wire, electrical tape, and skill. But it worked.

Anyway, with this mod, the psp has the ability to charge using USB or the ac adaptor. My question was this: could anything happen to my psp if both got plugged in at the same time? It may be a stupid question, but I really do wonder and I'm no about to use my psp to try. Anyway thanks.

P.S. This is a phat psp not the slim.

So u just taped down the wire and hope it doesn't come loose? lol

[rceckspurt13]

no actually i wrapped the wire around the prong on the usb adaptor. I would solder if i could. Im not that good with solder. Anyway i didnt have a soldering iron on me anyway. I just wanted to get this done. Next im looking to light the triggers. Ill try to di that withoout solder too lol. any suggestions?

Um i dont really think u can do leds with no solder lol. The 0603 leds are so small like a peice of dirt or two.
U cant tape that down :P

But idk maybe you have special powers lol, good luck.

hot glue! lol idk if it'll work or not but its worth a try and about the ac and usb at the same time i tried it once but only for a few minutes some i'm not sure

Hot glue lol, good luck that imposible reall because the hotglue would just go all over led and wires wouldnt make good contact. But what eveer dude you should just learn to solder. I learned, been modding for less than 6 months! It gets pretty easy with practice. And just make your own technuiques up to make it easier.

[j.s2ghetto]

ya learn how to solder i have been modding for like 4months i can remeber the first time i opened my psp

[avdude94]

i did mine without solder too, and i'm only 14! it worked just fine until i did a full case mod on my psp and replace the electrical tape with some of a better grade... now anytime i connect a usb cable it doesn't even try to connect, it gets stuck on saying "connect a usb cable".  i tried like 5 different computers and 3 different memsticks with no luck. any ideas?

[rceckspurt13]

Your wire is touhing both the first and second pins. Make it only touch the first pin (left to right).

A few others have had the same problem.

Oh and by the way, I know how to solder perfectly now. But my mod is still working this way so I see no reason to change it.
