Okay, I found the fuse on the PSP slim. I read on another forum that you have to wire it & solder it to prevent it from moving. Do you have a guide to help me fix it? I know it's a lot to ask of you, but I really would like to fix it for my son.
It's a really easy concept. I'll run through what to do. Once you have located the fuse on the back of your mobo then you going to want to put some electrical tape around the fuse to make sure u don't accidentally destroy anything . Then you want to fire up your iron and prepare a small piece of wire that will be able to connect both sides of the resister while keeping in in a realistic size to work with. I'd say about 1cm. Once your striped the plastic at the ends of the wire, tin it. Put some flux paste if you have it on the resister and on the tips of your wire. Then bend the wire to make it touch both sides of the resister. I used a piece of tape to hold it down put thats optional. Then go ahead and touch both sides of the resister with the iron. It should stick but if not keep trying, you'll get it eventually.
I don't mean to be a pain in the butt, but do you have pictures to show how to do this concept? I work better by looking at pictures, not by following directions
Of coarse your not being a pain. AM is all about helping each other Idk if this helps, but here's a pic of how the wire should be. I can't get a real pic so this is the best I can do
I don't even know if the fix to the fuse is going to fix all of my problems. Maybe it could be something larger than the fuse. & I don't want to take any chances of ruining my PSP if I don't know if this is the real problem. But then on the other hand, what if the problem is the fuse? Oh man, this is a tough decision
Alright well Have you made sure your connections are all working? If so and it doesn't work, there's nothing else it could really be... Unless your screen is broken. Even so bridging the backlight fuse won't break anything, even if it isn't broken.
Yes, all of my connections are working fine, & my screen isn't broken cause I replaced it with a new one. So if bridging won't work, I guess there's no way of fixing the PSP?
