give me a few suggestions on what you are good at.

like: soldering/dissasembling
and have you ever opened your psp
and have you ever opened another console
and are you willing to pay money for the modding, because things can go wrong and it will cost you money to repair

the USB charge is a real simple mod. It only requires one wire. If you know how to solder, it goes even quicker. If you dont know how to solder though, I made a tut on how to do it without soldering. I'll give you the link if you want.

just dont attempt lights of any kind because they are kinda difficult for a first mod.

Why not start with a CASE change.

No Soldering, no conversion of anything.

Gets you used the the idea of opening the PSP and the layout of the components
working with the connections inside the PSP.

You are not changing the workings of the PSP and you learn to pay very
close attention to detail on taking it apart and putting it back together

That way if something does not work correctly when you put it back together
you know that it is something simple like you did not connect a connector
or put something back where it should be.

Make sure you use a static electricity wrist strap !!!!!!!!

Static from your hands can kill the electronics in the PSP.

yea i agree with gr8npwrfl let him disassemble and learn the parts of the psp before doing any modding to them or else he will be lost if he has never done anything close to this.

You use a static electricity strap... hmm i never use those as long as u are not creating static ur fine.

Thats like playing Russian Roulette.

You can play all day and the one loaded cylinder does not come up.

BUT

ahh alright i seen this before saw some kids do that with nurf guns lol..

hellazombies · « **Reply #9 on:** July 31, 2008, 05:16:39 PM »

the only mod i did so far is the buttons and faceplate mod

Jumbo · « **Reply #10 on:** July 31, 2008, 05:31:34 PM »

Suggestion is learn to solder on random things like old pc parts just wire random wires to random places.

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #11 on:** July 31, 2008, 09:00:21 PM »

Face plates are real easy, the only problem you usually have is joystick connections.

If you do a full case change you have to take the entire PSP apart, display, motherboard, power board and wifi board

That will challenge you quite a bit more.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #12 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:57:03 AM »

yea unless what mods does he want to try so we can help him out.

tmandt · « **Reply #13 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:09:37 AM »

hey i think the best mods you can do are

faceplate
buttons
sound reactive triggers(direct connection)

if you have more experience move on to bigger things

case swaps
light house psp(loads of leds) hehehe
dual nub
internal cam
etc

just take your time and dont rush. practice makes perfection

Yea that should be good for him. Also i think case swap wouldnt be that hard so he can try that as well first.

well i dont think its hard just that its hard for a noob not an intermediate. see im like inbetween intemediate and pro. ive done led mods before and some case things here and there. lol biggest mod ive everdone was taking my psp apart. lol i was scared. also i did some blue trigger kits also

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:35:47 AM »

Yea well the first thing i learned when i got my psp is take the whole thing apart and put it back together then when i was searching parts for it and found acidmods i went with the sound reactive LEDs easy cuz i used to solder before i started soldering the psp. The biggest mod i have done is the Speaker one where i came up with my own look as you can see in my signature below.

yea i see what you mean well if that much of one no offense not a bad remark lol but i see where your going.

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2008, 10:32:04 AM »

That is why I suggested and entire case mod first.

Get used to the PSP and where all the parts are and how they connect together.

If you can't deal with the connectors and how fragile they are and how they come apart and go together,
I would be very cautious about changing things inside a PSP.

Everyone that has experience with modding a PSP knows that something very simple like a wire
touching the LCD cage can make the PSP not work.

If you are comfortable with just a complete teardown and reassembly of your PSP.

Gives you confidence with working with your PSP.

Heck you don't even have to put on a custom case. Just tear down your PSP and put it all back together again

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:02:00 PM »

Download the Sony firmware onto the root of your PSP and rename it like the install
directions say. I always do mine that way so I have a copy of every Sony firmware
saved in case I want to switch back to send a unit in to Sony

hellazombies · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:03:07 PM »

can you do that with cfw?

You can upgrade your CFW as far as you want.

The current version is over 4.1 now

You can use the store in the root directory even on a stock PSP if you want
