Step By Step Tutorial

Ok so use PSP Disassembly Tut by Kenshinffx which can be found
Here
Until you are at your mobo.



Ok so Now you need to unplug your speaker.



I use the right one more ofter but either one works. So now that
should look like this.



Ok so now heat up your iron get all you leds out. While waiting
for your iron to heat up you will need to get 4 pieces of wire.
Two will go to the Right Trigger and Two to the Left Trigger.
Like So.

Ok so after you wire your leds to the wire you have to wire it to
the back of the speaker. The black wire leads to ground or
negative and the gray leads to positive.
Like this-


So then when that's wired the back of your speaker should look
like this-


Now you drill the triggers. You should use a 1/16 or 1/8 bit. I
didn't have a drill near bye so I used a dremel but either are
fine. So you drill a hole in the middle of the trigger not to far
though just enough for a bit of hot glue and an led.



When done they should look like this-



Now just put a dab of hot glue on the led and stick into the hole-



Now just route your wires. It doesn't really matter but here is an example-



And I found it better if you put some tape over the wires to keep them in place.

Now We just need to put it back together
Put on your LCD Cage and screw it in. Now every time you put
something on after modding ALWAYS TEST IF THE PSP WORKS! It would
really suck if it all together and you notice it doesn't work
right?




Put In your LCD
No picture i am looking for one :P


Put on your home bar-


Put on your faceplate-
Now after your put in every screw test that the PSP turns on and
the leds too if they don't its a short.



Turn it over and screw in these screws-

Dont mean to double post but i watermarked the pics and made a new video

So is this ready for the tut section??

[Tri-edge]

sorry about that, I've been busy in real life lately (job, college, etc) and I do it when I get the spare time. I'll see if I have the spare time tomorrow, and if I do I will edit tomorrow and move it there.

[Jumbo]

Still not moved?

Cant like an admin or global move it?

[vennale]

 
    will it work if the (-) negative end of the led is connected on the ground pin of the hold switch and the (+) of led is connected on the (+) of the speaker?

[Jumbo]

No.

The ONLY way to make it so you can turn it on and off is if you add a switch to is such as a dip switch or a rocker switch,

And you can get a dip switch for like 1$

[vennale]

  Neh, I don't want to add any dip switches on my psp, so the only option I have is to use the LM386 right, but I don't know how to wire it to the hold switch, can you help me out?

[Jumbo]

Wire the ground of the lm386 to the Hold switch.
