led swap

[sakobatoneko]

after doing the led swap the memory stick and the wifi leds wont work i thought i put them wrong so i did it again but still the same. any one know whats the problem?

[MykR0]

maybe you burned them out got a pic of the work..maybe i can help ya out

[Sanctus]

I got the same sorta problem. Except when i wired an unresisted led to the wifi and to the ms resister and the led obviously burned out...then after that my ms led didn't work either and now i try to do a led swap with the wifi and it worked fine for about 5 minutes then it went dim and i know the led isn't burnt out because i tested it when i un-soldered it...

i did the led swap once and it was successful but i tried to do it again on a different psp and is couldnt do it again( before the led swap i did was sanctus did). even desoldered the led on the other mobo that i did the led swap and now i cant get the memory stick led working again.

It should just be a matter of resoldering the leds or getting new ones. I don't think you can blow anything up (unless your going mad with the solder iron, i'm known to do that, lol) have a look around the area you have worked on to see if there is any damage.

The resisters look burned up but i will try again later, also i have some solder on the gold pad that i cant take off  any help on that?

use desoldering braid, u place it on the solder, and heat up the other side with your soldering iron and thats its. simple

cool now i need $10 and a ride to radioshack

I think what i mightv done is soldered the contacts off or at least for my wifi led and my resister is just screwed for my ms led >.> but i might be wrong

So it seems alot of you are having issues with the ms and WiFi led swaps, heres a pic that really helped(thankx to 4dP)



Now heres mine already done, i used a 0603 red LED(be sure to use 0603 leds as they are the best choice for all around psp use)

i just bridged the resistors and now my led and wifi work.

[Sanctus]

which resisters? the ones under the d-pad?

[sakobatoneko]

yeah

[WhiteFlame.]

You possibly shorted the fuse out... just a thought

hmk so I just bridge that resister then im all good?

[sakobatoneko]

you havent done this yet? what i did was put a blob of solder on the resistors and then tried the led swap and it worked.

Yeah I've been busy with school >.>. Also if you've seen my other posts I made a while back you'll know I have a problem with my d-pad not working. But I got it to work one day when I was playing round so I didn't really want to play with it any more. And as you know the resister I need to bridge it directly under it xD. So I'll get to later, just wanted to confirm thats what I need to do.
